Leading with Courage and Strategy in Divisive Times
How can strategic leadership be combined with moral courage to assure the public's health? This interactive session addresses moral and ethical challenges of leadership for the public's health in an increasingly polarized and politicized environment. Join in a thoughtful, dynamic "talk show" style discussion with a panel of seasoned, diverse public health champions who will identify and illustrate issues and obstacles, and share their stories about summoning courageous leadership to get results. The goal of this session is to identify effective strategies and lessons learned for navigating through difficult and divisive issues at the local, state and national level.
Learning Objectives: Understand various approaches and strategies used to overcome issues such as public health workforce development in the future AND learn about the emergence of new leadership techniques used to train the public health workforce
