Join us for a day of uplifting stories and insightful discussions about how we can work together to inspire new leaders and help them succeed.
This moment in history urgently requires the emergence of fresh and visionary leadership—ready to shift from wielding power to embracing collaboration and transcending divisiveness in favor of inclusiveness, reconciliation, and support of the common good.
Join us at Mohonk on Sunday, November 9, for “THE FUTURE IS NOW: Leadership in a Critical Time.” This day-long conference will gather expert voices, neighbors and local changemakers to explore new paradigms of leadership, generate courage and hope for current leaders, and develop strategies for recognizing and supporting leadership potential in others—and ourselves.
Register now for a full day of inspiring stories and thought-provoking discussions about the changing nature of leadership and how new leaders can be identified and supported in these times of sweeping social change.
