The Wisconsin Leadership Summit, coming up October 18 and 19, will be unlike any professional development, community building or networking event you’ve ever attended. Literally dozens of the state’s most influential leaders of color will gather to dig into the issues facing Wisconsin and its communities of color. In addition to time for networking, community arts and a bit of fun, here are the topics we will be discussing. More panelists and moderators will be announced in the coming weeks.
