Be Bold is Back!

The Goodnow Library Foundation invites you to the first Be Bold event of 2022! Please join us on Tuesday, February 1 @ 7 pm as we hear from Gina Lucente-Cole, author, coach, and principal consultant at Promina Advisors.

 

As we grapple with the question of when — or whether — to return to the office, employers are facing existential questions about what their companies value most. This will be a hybrid event; please click HERE for more information and to register.
