Robert F. Smith, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Vista Equity Partners, offers his own insights and experiences on each passage on how themes like “The Beloved Community,” “Economic Justice” and “Two Americas” played a central role in his own leadership development and why the visionary ideas Dr. King espoused are so important for leaders to understand and apply today.Pyramid Books will be selling copies of Lead Boldly during the event. No outside books, please.This program is presented in partnership with the Friends of AARLCC. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/b17ed9f0-7458-11f0-994e-1dce379af11a-rimg-w740-h740-dc060606-gmir.png https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/b1b923d0-7458-11f0-a6ac-b798ba085dc1-rimg-w493-h740-dcd0e2e8-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/b1ffc9c0-7458-11f0-994e-1dce379af11a-rimg-w553-h740-dcfffffe-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/b2451020-7458-11f0-994e-1dce379af11a-rimg-w1200-h695-dcf4f5f5-gmir.jpg Agenda?: 06:00 PMMeet & Greet with Mr. Smith (ticketed)?: 07:00 PMConversation with Mr. Smith?: 08:00 PMBooksigning - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/fort-lauderdale/an-evening-with-robert-f-smith/100001538308344669 - **Event Categories**: sports, meetups, meet-and-greet - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: African-American Research Library and Cultural Center - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 49.87, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Fort Lauderdale - **state**: FL - **country**: United States - **location**: African-American Research Library and Cultural Center - **lat**: 26.1284278 - **long**: -80.17748019999999 - **full address**: African-American Research Library and Cultural Center, 2650 Sistrunk Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: An Evening with Robert F.
