Event Details

“Seeds of Change” Is a new idea presented by the Danforth Leadership Council, a unique group of regional leaders. 

This annual event will feature a high-level thought leader who can give other visionary people in our region a chance to be uplifted and energized by:

  • the opportunity to connect with others who think passionately about our community;
  • the understanding that change can happen most easily when people work in collaboration toward a common goal;
  • the clarity that our region (while not without challenges) has world class assets-science art, music, philanthropic people, etc. - which we can leverage to make us all stronger.


We are deeply grateful to our Inaugural “Seeds of Change” presenter, Hugh Grant, chairman of the board, president and chief executive officer of Monsanto.
