Open to Fellows, the LGC Class of 2023 and All Hands on Deck Partners only. (All Hands on Deck Partners and the Class of 2023 are pre-registered for each session in this series and not required to register here.)
Once again, we will end our series with the production of The New Innovators. This virtual program will feature a short film on four Fellow-led initiatives tackling the urgent issues of this past year. Nine Fellows sit down with us to explain the challenges they faced and the courage, creativity and collaboration they embraced to rethink solutions to diversity in board recruitment, workforce development, immigration and public safety.
