Dean Kyte delivers opening remarks on what optimism means to her: having hope.

“Where I draw my hope from is from the women who are making a difference despite oil-soaked money…despite the fact that we are building cathedrals that will be occupied much farther down the line.”

[CGIA 2023 @CgiaFletcher]

“Hope for me means not waiting for external circumstances to change but tapping into the faith rooted in me to make myself courageous enough to act.” - Rachel Kyte, Dean of the Fletcher School @FletcherSchool #CGIA2021
