A strong sense of community has long been recognized as essential to a healthy society. However, it is during times of division and/or crisis—when isolation and polarization take hold—that we truly realize just how vital community is. Today, more than ever, we need community to bring us together, foster connection, and create meaningful impact.

But what exactly is community, and how do we build, nurture, and sustain it? How can we take meaningful action in our own communities? As leaders, how can we balance large-scale systems change with impactful local and community work, ensuring they align and strengthen each other?

Join us on site at the Lamorinda Care Collective as we explore what it takes to launch and sustain impactful community initiatives. Together, we’ll learn from a diverse range of cross-sector leaders, share personal stories, and reflect on how community has shaped our lives and leadership.

To encourage open and candid discussion, this event follows the Chatham House Rule – attendees may share insights from the conversation but cannot attribute statements to specific individuals or organizations. This ensures a trusted space for thoughtful dialogue and deeper insights.
