Leadership matters. Leaders shape our communities, institutions, nation and the world. They define culture, take action and make decisions that have long-standing and wide-ranging impact on people and communities. All of us have a role to play in creating a region where each person can thrive, but the people we choose as leaders, and choose to follow, make a huge difference in our shared direction.

We mean those who are inspiring and supporting others to solve problems and create new opportunities, within and across communities. Published June 2023

And we thought it would take us 5 years to do it. Published May 2023
