This Dignity-Based Leadership Development Series is inspired by and tied into the Jesuit Education entailing (1) caring for the whole person – mind, body, and spirit – and contributing to the greater good; (2) “the magis” (more) – leading to excellence in all pursuits; and (3) becoming “men and women for and with others.”

This year-long leadership program consists of a series of in-person retreats featuring leadership speakers, symposiums, panels, and interactive workshops carefully designed to allow participants to discover their leadership potential, cultivate their leadership skills, build a cohesive, high-performing team, and create a culture of dignity and belonging.
