Living Leadership
FOR YOUR BOARD: As we kindle the Chanukah lights, our units are also welcoming in their 2018 boards. Board Transitions are an opportunity to rekindle the passion and purpose of your unit and the individuals who make everything possible. It is a time to evaluate and revise, while thanking those who made 2017 possible. CLICK HERE to find a short exercise that will help you facilitate the transition. As always, if you are interested in bringing a trainer on a specific leadership topic to your board meeting or event, we are always here to help!
