About the Workshop

Join YNPN San Diego and leaders from the San Diego nonprofit community to discuss what leadership looks like throughout the generations.  Listen in as our panelists discuss what each generation brings to the leadership table and how we can together prepare for the future of leadership.  Following the panel, we will open the space with facilitated group conversations about multiple generations working together to advance the nonprofit community in San Diego.  Join our panelists and your colleagues as they share their own experiences and lessons learned related to leadership and provide you with an opportunity to ask questions, get feedback and share your own input on multigenerational leadership.
