Event Overview:
What does it look like to put our inclusion aspirations into practice? What if those aspirations are to support the growth of others, and what if these aspirations extend well beyond our department or institution? 

Join a conversation with Next Leaders Fellowship (NLF) alumni who have completed the program and since achieved their aspiration of attaining a C-suite role. This panel will invite them to share their experiences, reflect on how the program impacted them, and consider lessons the fellowship is looking to learn from and build on.

The session will include a conversation about the vision for the program and its cohort-based approach. Additionally, this session will serve as an opportunity for a dialogue with NLF mentors about why they are committing their time, energy, and resources to this effort and what they have learned so far. Feedback, ideas, and questions during the session will all be welcomed and encouraged.

NLF is a sponsored one-year cohort experience to identify, develop, and advocate for information and technology professionals in Higher Education. NERCOMP is a NLF partner, and each NLF cohort begins their journey at the NERCOMP annual conference.
