Join us TOMORROW for a conversation that channels anxiety into action — practical, grounded, and forward-looking.

Josh Leonard, chief executive officer of the East Bay Agency for Children - EBAC, will talk about what local nonprofit and business leaders can focus on right now to strengthen their organizations proactively, serve their communities, and create lasting impact — instead of bracing for federal developments and reacting.

We’ll also have Renee Rubin Ross share insights from her new book, Inclusive Strategist Planning for Nonprofits. The key idea of the book is that people's voices matter in determining our collective future. Which is pretty on brand for The Ross Collective A.S.D, her consulting firm that offers strategic planning, board development, leadership training and retreat facilitation.

She’ll share some actionable steps you can put into practice right away.

We hope you can make it!
