One of the most exciting things about Leadership Council is the opportunity to learn from a wide variety of experts, and from each other. On May 18 we had the privilege of hosting Barry Posner, co-author of The Leadership Challenge! The book is the inspiration for our annual member-exclusive Leadership Challenge program, held over 3 days at Camp Joy. Alumni of the course were invited to meet Barry and ask questions about the book’s philosophy and evolution in its 7th edition. Thanks to our facilitator Steve Coats for the opportunity and 4C for Children for hosting! Registration opens in June for the 2023 Leadership Challenge, Oct. 2-4.
