Join us in a lively discussion as we continue the lively discussion about leadership in Boston’s Black communities. Common questions asked are “Where is it?”, “Who is it?”, “Who is stepping up to the plate to take over?”, “What forms of formal and informal mentoring are there?” “Is there a leadership pipeline, and if not , how can we create one?” Prior to this discussion, conference participants will break out into groups accordingly to their respective “generation”. in their groups, conference participants will share information about their generation and how they view leadership and what tools they need to be a successful leader in Boston.. After this discussion,we will develop action steps to bring this to reality by identifying what is needed for the “passing”m or the “taking” of the TORCH.
