Service as Leadership

Date: November 21, 2009

In sharing her perspective on service as leadership, Roopal Shah will draw upon her ten-year experience as the Executive Director and Co-Founder of Indicorps, a non-profit organization. Indicorps strives to provide transformational service experiences to its volunteering fellows, encouraging them to engage their body, mind, and soul in leading change by example. Ms. Shah will discuss concrete ways in which young people can be challenged and inspired to take ownership of BIG questions, and to find answers by living their values.
