Chancellor Janet Gooch will be joined by former Congresswoman Cheri Callahan Bustos for a thoughtful and engaging dialogue on authentic leadership. Their conversation will delve into what it means to lead with genuine purpose, how staying true to oneself strengthens trust and influence, and why authenticity is essential in today’s leadership landscape. Informed by Cheri’s far-reaching experience in public service, journalism, and community advocacy, the discussion will provide a rich and inspiring perspective on the power of leading authentically.
