Yesterday for our final weekly meeting, we had the honor of hosting Matthew Van Jura, Assistant Director of Leadership Programs. Matthew facilitated an interactive workshop on internationalizing leadership. He did an exemplary job of bringing together many of the principles we’ve developed throughout the year and providing several meaningful takeaways; the workshop served as the perfect wrap-up to our one year program. We look forward to hosting our final GLI banquet next Monday to conclude the year!
