How to Support Us

IMANI Seminars proudly present what traditional leadership programs unfortunately often lack, diverse groups of experienced leaders to learn from each other and learn from the greatest minds of our past. In a University environment, conducive to reflection and dialogue, participants grapple with fundamental issues about the nature of civil, political and economic society. Via Socratic method as well as traditional lectures, moderators lead stimulating and intriguing discussions. Through the seminar experience, participants come to a new awareness of the society they exist in and the values they rest on. They return to society, business or study with renewed perspective and inspired commitment.
