Launch – Spring 2025

About the event

Registration closes on May 27th  

The Launch program is dedicated to uplifting new and emerging leaders, enhancing their abilities with confidence-boosting, skill-building, research-backed learning. Participants will establish a strong foundation, which, in turn, positively impacts their ability to lead others and contribute to organizational success. 

Developed in partnership with the Center for Creative Leadership (CCL), Launch is an accessible learning program that creates pathways to higher leadership for those kicking off their career journey. 

Launch’s accessible price point and low hourly commitment (Four weeks, 3 hours/week) make it an excellent way to re-invest in new leaders without burdening their busy schedules. Plus, Launch offers mixed-company cohorts which create excellent opportunities for attendees to expand their network!
