Custom program participants
(FY 2023)

“Being able to partner with an organization that can enhance our other experiences that we’re able to offer internally is really immeasurable. It gives folks an outside perspective. It’s easy to get in a sound chamber of your own thoughts and ideas when you’re working internally, so having an opportunity to hear from external speakers and external points of view has been a fantastic opportunity for our leaders across the organization.” 

— Tara Northey-Whipple, Vice President, Talent, Patterson Companies, Inc.

"I found this program extremely impactful for our executive team. This opportunity allowed individuals to learn new strategies to connect with others while getting a better understanding of their impact on others."
