JPMorgan Chase Private Bank in downtown Fort Lauderdale was the site for a Jeffersonian Dinner to benefit the Guy Harvey Foundation (GHF), the non-profit organization that promotes marine conservation, funds innovative scientific research and develops cutting-edge educational programs for students, with 100% of the proceeds funding the GHF conservation education initiative for Broward educators and students.
Led by GHF CEO Jessica Harvey, the intimate Jeffersonian Dinner was designed to engage guests in listening, learning and inspiring each other through an impactful conversation centered around how conservation education can turn the tide in the future of the planet. The tradition of a Jeffersonian Dinner began at the home of Thomas Jefferson in the late 1800’s. Jefferson was known to invite thought leaders and influencers of his time from a range of backgrounds and fields to share in conversation and debate on a particular topic. By engaging in a single conversation, with only one person speaking at a time, Jefferson and his guests were able to unlock the power of their collective wisdom. The purpose was simple: to listen, learn, and inspire one another through meaningful dialogue around a particular topic.
