Sustained Leadership
When you look at communities that have made progress, they often have had stellar leadership at the helm for a sustained period of time. We often overlook the importance of that.
Take Leslie Ann Howard --- the CEO of the United Way in Dane County -Madison,Wisconsin. Leslie came up through the organization and has held the CEO role for a decade. No other United Way can claim what Madison can. Real measurable work at a community level that has changed the way the community believes it can get things done. Eliminate the racial achievement gap. Done. Work to end homelessness. Underway.
Leadership matters and it matters over the long haul.
Seeing today the 50 plus individuals on stage who have put over 30 years into United Way reminds us not only is this a potential career, but it is through those leaders that success at a community level takes place.
Thanks to each of you for teaching us.
