It Starts with Us: Forging the Future of Federal Leadership
February 23, 2021 | Virtual
1:00 PM – 2:30 PM EST
Today’s Senior Executives, GS-15s and GS-14s are an important bridge between policy – which can be slow to change – and the immediate need
for promoting diversity and inclusivity amongst cultures and generations to cultivate the federal leadership of the future, before these candidates fall off the diversity cliff.
The African American Federal Executive Association, Executive Women in Government, Senior Executives Association, and Management Concepts have partnered to present “It Starts with Us: Forging the Future of Federal Leadership” with keynote speaker Ambassador Susan Rice and a panel discussion of distinguished speakers to address the actions federal leaders can take today to forge the leadership of tomorrow.
