ABFE Leadership Coaching with an Equity Lens


Level 1: Beginning the Journey to Becoming a
Transformational Leader 


Welcome!

We are excited to offer you this special invitation to join other ABFE members from across the nation to take your professional development to the next level.  Together we will learn and apply racial equity principles and leadership concepts as an intentional learning community.
