Our Resilient Honorees Reflect on a Year of Challenges
The 2021 theme, "Leading with Character and Resilience," captures what it means to do our work in the midst of a pandemic, social and political unrest, and economic uncertainty. Each of our honorees has displayed resilience, drive, character, and tenacity as they met the challenges and created inspiring ways to move forward. Please listen to their reflections on what the experiences of this unprecedented time have meant to them.
