Innovative Actions to Support Healthy Leadership Transitions
Wednesday, March 20, 2024 at 02:00 to 03:15 PM

Join this values-driven and action-oriented session with Leading Forward to learn from social sector professionals who are leaning into trust - and leaning into the change - with new strategies to support leaders who are leaving, leaders who are entering, and the board and staff who manage the change from old to new.
