Between Silence & Statement: A Leadership Conversation on Public Positions

Taking a public position on a social issue is not always straightforward for nonprofits. What is meant as an act of organizational integrity and a way to live out values in public can fracture teams and alienate stakeholders if not done thoughtfully.

On May 19 at 1 p.m. ET, Zahra Esmail, CEO of Vantage Point, and Owen Charters, CEO of Pathways to Education Canada will join Bruce MacDonald, CEO of Imagine Canada, for a candid conversation about why speaking out matters, what can make it challenging and why having guiding principles for statements is important, as well as their own experiences navigating public statements as organizational leaders.
