Events
25 years of impact
On February 5, 2025, we will celebrate 25 years of ASU Lodestar Center impact in Arizona and beyond. This special event will feature Kate Forbes, president of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).
As one of our first community volunteer champions, Kate played an integral part in developing our Center's mission, vision and capacity building portfolio. Today, as IFRC president, she is advancing humanitarian efforts through the 191 IFRC Federation members and over 16 million volunteers.
Join other community and sector leaders, key stakeholders and program alumni for this celebratory event and discover our global vision for the next 25 years of impact.
