“I am looking forward to being a part of TLC because I want to deepen my leadership skills and abilities, in order to be a better leader, strategist and visionary. I want to increase my own understanding of my areas of personal strengths and where I need to grow as a person and professional. This is important to me because I want to operate with sincere integrity and with love in my leadership style. I am looking forward to doing this with a community of peers, and to expand my networks of personal and career related support for myself and future leaders of color in CO.“
