Wicked Problems: Strategy Making for Senior Leaders with David Sawyer

“This track gave me the energy and enthusiasm I was lacking before I attended.”

“What an energetic and positive leader! He’s given me some real energy to go back and try again!”

“My attending the Institute will probably help me move my agency to the next level of providing services to victims in our community.”
