This innovative bi-weekly, six part series will combine presentations by experts plus interactive break-out sessions that will produce individual action plans. This opportunity is limited to 21 participants who will be selected through an application process based on the criteria listed below: Criteria - Experience level (must have 7+ years of work experience)
