Public Kinship – A Leadership Strategy for America

Neighborhood Associates Corporation

Location: Online

How can local practices of care and engagement build cultures of trust, neighborliness, and intergenerational cooperation? How can we learn to lead ourselves, so that we may lead with and listen to others? Public Kinship, a leadership strategy grounded in the precept of loving thy neighbor as thyself, offers a path toward answering these questions. Join Dr. Bobby W. Austin and a distinguished group of practitioners as they explore Public Kinship’s potential for building the dialogues we need now. An open Q&A session will follow their discussion.
