Friend --
We hope you are energized and ready to dive into 2020 at full force. During this time of the year, the NLC Fellows focus on reflection and assessing their leadership journeys. So whether you're an alumni, supporter, or friend of NLC, I encourage you to make the same investment that our Fellows do, and carve out some time for personal and professional reflection. Our country needs intentional, purpose-driven leaders. NLC is proud to support our 2020 Fellows on their paths to lead and live with a progressive purpose. As you review the top six updates from the first four weeks of this fateful year, know that the NLC community is filled with hope and purpose - ready to lead in 2020 and beyond.
Onward,
Clare Bresnahan English
NLC President & CEO
