CEPL leadership event

What is leadership? What is the future of leadership? The essence and characteristics of leadership may withstand time, but then how do we prepare for the ever-changing complexity of the 21st century?

The Future of Leadership Forum, which marks CEPL’s 20-year anniversary as the GW Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (CEPL), is a platform for engaging with thought leaders, educators, coaches, practitioners and GW alumni around cutting-edge leadership theory and practices in the public, private and nonprofit sectors.

The event will be held on Friday, Sept. 22, 2017, from 8:00 a.m.-1:30 p.m., ET, in the Marvin Center on GW’s Foggy Bottom Campus in Washington, DC. The event will include an awards ceremony, keynote speakers, and a leadership panel discussion, as well as breakfast and lunch. GW alumni, students, faculty and staff are invited to attend for $25 and the general public for $35.
