More than ever, we need leaders capable of steadily and staunchly navigating their organizations and teams through life’s most challenging moments.

This fireside chat engaged two leading voices on veterans and service about how they lead with purpose, especially in times of crisis. 

SEPTEMBER 29, 2021

Research shows that veterans who continue serving have a higher sense of purpose, are more resilient, practice self-efficacy, and feel better connected to both veteran and civilian communities. In essence, volunteerism shows causal improvements in self-esteem and social connectedness — two main proponents of physical and mental wellbeing. 

In this conversation and alongside experts in the space, we will explore the importance of service as an “upstream” intervention to address mental health challenges: wellbeing, suicide prevention, brain health & science, and more.

Women leaders bring an authentic identity, experience, and perspective to the table when solving problems and leading teams. In the 20 years since 9/11, we have seen a dramatic shift as women in all aspects of our economy, philanthropy and government have changed what it means to serve and lead in this country. Now, there is a growing recognition of the unique contributions that propel success when more voices–including women leaders– are at the table and are being heard.
