Join us to
celebrate more than a decade of local, organized
advocacy for children. And help us develop our
collective power to make San Antonio a City For Kids.
This year we
will explore the holistic nature of child development
and maturation into fulfilled adults, asking and
answering, what does it take?
 Keynote
speaker, Ralph Smith, is Executive Vice President of
the Annie E. Casey Foundation. Previously, as senior
vice president and director of planning and
development, he helped design the Foundation’s
comprehensive effort to help communities improve
outcomes for children by strengthening families and
neighborhoods.
From 1975 to
1997, Mr. Smith was a member of the faculty of the Law
School of the University of Pennsylvania, teaching
corporate law, securities regulations, and education
law and policy. A legal scholar and attorney,
he authored briefs in landmark cases before the United
States Supreme Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals.
He served in
senior leadership positions for the Philadelphia
school district and as senior advisor to the mayor. He
is the founding director for the National Center on
Fathers and Families and the Philadelphia Children’s
Network. Smith is an active participant in various
councils and networks working to improve national and
international philanthropy.
