The Moving Forward series looks at how people and organizations are navigating the future with strength, determination, and skills needed to overcome unprecedented barriers and create a positive change. Each webinar will feature a distinct aspect of tackling the future, with key leaders sharing their experiences from industry, government, the not-for-profit sector and the academia.
The series will explore:
- How organizations are adapting in order to move forward through the global COVID-19 pandemic
- How our communities and organizations are moving forward on issues of equity and social justice
- How students can move forward in their career goals, through the advice and wisdom of alumni who are graduates of the same program
Each webinar will feature either a one-on-one interview or a panel discussion with high-level decision makers from various fields, offering unique insights gained through first-hand experiences.
All are welcome to attend and participate.
