A foundational principle of Leadership Greater Washington is collaboration, uniting people and organizations to gain diverse insight. True change, like great leadership, is not a solo endeavor. It requires a collective force of individuals, crossing bridges and boundaries to connect and collaborate. I believe that educating young leaders on the importance of collaboration will result in a brighter future. Our partnership with #LeaderBridgeDC puts this philosophy in motion. As the comprehensive leadership initiative of Crimsonbridge Foundation, LeaderBridge prioritizes meeting the leadership development interest of leaders of color and diverse back-grounds to foster a connected and collaborative network. These are the shared values that brought us together. We are proud of the successes we have shared along the journey of our partnership. #leadership #partnership #collaboration
