A Conversation with Bill Clinton, 42nd President of the United States | Global Conference 2024

Published 2024-06-10
William Jefferson Clinton, the first Democratic president in six decades to be elected twice, led the United States to the longest economic expansion in American history, including the creation of more than 22 million jobs. After leaving the White House, President Clinton established the Clinton Foundation in order to continue working on the causes he cared about. Since its founding, the Foundation has endeavored to help build more resilient communities by developing and implementing programs that improve people’s health, strengthen local economies, and protect the environment. In addition to his Foundation work, President Clinton served as the top United Nations envoy for the Indian Ocean tsunami recovery effort, the UN Special Envoy to Haiti—and has partnered numerous times with Presidents George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush to support relief efforts for communities devastated by natural disasters. President Clinton was born on August 19, 1946, in Hope, Arkansas. He and his wife Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton have one daughter, Chelsea, and three grandchildren, Charlotte, Aidan and Jasper. They live in Chappaqua, New York.

Mike Milken has been at the forefront of successful initiatives in medical research, education, public health and access to capital for more than five decades. Fortune called him “The Man Who Changed Medicine and Forbes listed him among “Visionaries Reimagining Our Children’s Future.” In 1982 he formalized his philanthropy by co-founding the Milken Family Foundation; the Milken Educator Awards, launched in 1987, is the nation’s preeminent teacher-recognition program, and has honored nearly 3,000 K-12 educators. In addition to its annual Global Conference each spring in Los Angeles, the Milken Institute hosts more than 250 events annually, including major conferences in Singapore, Abu Dhabi, Japan, and Washington, D.C. Mike is also the founder and chairman of FasterCures, which works to speed progress against all life-threatening diseases. HarperCollins recently published his latest book, Faster Cures: Accelerating the Future of Health, which chronicles his personal journey and progress in medical research and public health over the past half century. The Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University was established with an Institute gift, and the Milken Center for Advancing the American Dream will open in Washington, D.C. in 2024. As a financier, Mike revolutionized modern capital markets by pricing and rewarding risk more efficiently; the thousands of companies he financed created millions of jobs. A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, he earned his M.B.A. at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. He and his wife Lori have been married since 1968 and are members of the Giving Pledge; they have three children and 10 grandchildren. More information is at www.mikemilken.com.

Richard Ditizio is the CEO of the Milken Institute, where he is responsible for all centers and departments across the organization's global footprint. Under his leadership, the Institute expanded its staff and programmatic work to Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. He joined the Institute after a 25-year career in banking, most recently serving as CEO of Citi Private Bank. Prior to that, Ditizio ran the North American UHNW practice for the bank, leading 24 offices across the United States and Canada. In these roles, he counseled clients on issues such as business succession, philanthropy, and the challenges of raising children amid great affluence. His work on UHNW families, DEI, corporate leadership, and philanthropy has been widely profiled in media outlets including the Wall Street Journal, Financial Times, Lifestyles, CNBC, and Reuters; and he speaks around the world on these topics. A recipient of the NSFRE Corporate Executive Award, Ditizio has been involved with numerous nonprofit boards and charitable organizations throughout his career.

Alan Schwartz joined Guggenheim Partners, which is a global, independent and privately held financial services firm in June, 2009. Mr. Schwartz is the former chief executive officer of The Bear Stearns Companies. He was a member of the Duke Board of Trustees from 2005 until 2017, has served as chairman of the Fuqua School of Business Board of Visitors and as a member of the Athletic Advisory Board. Mr. Schwartz is a member of the boards of the Robin Hood Foundation, Marvin and Palmer, NYU Langone Medical Center, Clinton Health Access Initiative, Madison Square Garden and Nat’l Medal of Honor Museum.

  • Greetings Mr Bill, I'm not american & I don't know you, but am a spiritual listener & seerer, and i get to see alot of bad intensions, if i keep it to myself the dark spirits are effecting me really bad.. it is about your wife to you base on your other family, I find out you have a love child from my soul because you live with two spirits in your mind and it wasn't a of a daughter but of a son. You love you child. You should not trust your wife too much she has a very bad plan to eliminate you dead & tarnish your history, she has some other officials & people support her, after so she will be the remembered Clinton not you. She is a very ill person & she is willing to do anything to do that, i heard her said that. And i believe you know that as well. So if want yourself, Don't trust her suggestion or take anything she offer no matter how big smile she has on her face. Take care & avoid having arguments, thank you Mr bill for reading my note & take care💗🌺
