LEADERSHIP LEARNING SERIES 2007

Black Agency Executives’ Leadership Learning Series are four learning events designed to build the professional capacity of Black Executives, Board Members and Managers who lead social service agencies in New York. Its aim is to ensure that these voices continue to be raised in organizations that impact communities of color for a long time to come.

The series brings together leaders at all levels of management with the best thinkers and successful peers, to address salient questions and challenges.

Each event first features a keynote presentation by an expert in its area of focus. Next, there is panel discussion and Q & A with successful peers. Finally the day ends with a clinic facilitated by seasoned consultants who assist participants to apply the principles learnt to their professional challenges.
