Lead Boldly: An Evening on Leadership and Legacy with Robert F. Smith

Join us for an inspiring evening at the National Museum of African American Music, where we will reflect on the enduring impact of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call to lead with courage, conviction, and compassion. Through the lens of leadership and the importance of using our voices for change, we’ll explore how these timeless principles can guide us today.

This special event features Robert F. Smith, Founder, Chairman & CEO of Vista Equity Partners, in conversation with a special guest. Together, they’ll discuss how Dr. King’s most powerful speeches continue to inspire modern leaders—and how Smith’s new book, Lead Boldly, applies these lessons to leadership in business, community, and life.
