LT'23 Leader Interviews
As part of their Leadership Lab Projects, the LT’23 cohort met, interviewed, and learned from regional leaders, centering their conversations on leadership beliefs and practices, what “collective” leadership might look like, and how leaders take action toward racial equity and social justice. The cohort was divided into 10 teams; each team interviewed two leaders. In total, 20 leaders from the private, public, and nonprofit sectors shared their ideas and wisdom with the cohort.
