 WHAT OUR ATTENDEES SAY 

The LEAD program provides relevant and timely resources to encourage us to grow as individuals, which in turn allows us to become better leaders for our organizations. With the world's current and constant state of flux, the need for leadership development has never been greater. LEAD is an incredible pipeline to network with other leaders who are also dealing with change management, racial justice, and leading through one of the most uncertain periods of our lives.
