Join us on Saturday, July 18th, 2020 at 12:00pm for a discussion around Transformative Leadership for System Change, Led by Hima Batavia.

Between a global health pandemic and one of the largest social justice and racial equity uprisings in human history, we have collectively witnessed a cultural, political, economic and social shift in our countries, cities and communities in the last four months.

These shifts are happening within us too. In our homes, families, relationships, and within the organizations we lead. In many cases, we have been called into a state of pause and a time for reflection to understand our own role in the movement.

Leaders around the world have either risen and confronted the moment, creating a sense of possibility and safety, and in other cases, they have faltered and caused harm. A liberated future awaits, but demands a leader to usher in radical possibilities rooted in visionary co-creation.

This session will deep dive into a collective process to reimagine leadership for a liberated future.

The Trustee Hub will continue to provide trainings to support you in building a strong foundation for your work to have maximum impact during this Pandemic and beyond.

LIMITED SPACES, REGISTER EARLY
