Leading @250: Triumphs, Complexities, and the Future of Executive Leadership

On the cusp of America's semiquincentennial, leadership is being tested by unprecedented global and local pressures—from budget contractions and climate change to shifting institutional cultures. This panel explores how executive leaders navigate an era of significant polarization and social backlash while building sustainable coalitions. The discussion will investigate the strategies required to lead amidst deliberate attempts to undo key aspects of the transgenerational Black freedom movement while honoring the legacy of Juneteenth and charting a path forward.
