Leading and Learning: Leadership in Response to a Community in Crisis

As we try to move forward in this uncharted territory, many of us are learning as we go. There are no blue prints or road maps for how one should best operate in this type of environment. Our hope is that these authentic conversations with a wide-array of speakers will help to provide guidance as we navigate our multi-faceted lives as leaders, employees, and women.
