Our Flagship 42 and Executives 39 cohorts took part in their opening retreat last month, spending two days building community and learning about their leadership styles through the DiSC framework. After day one, we welcomed our alumni for a social gathering to officially introduce the newest members of the Leadership Lincoln family. It was a special moment for our community.

We look forward to an amazing program year together. Executives 39 begins today with the Community Visions seminar! ✨
