Since September 2020, the class came together virtually every second Thursday of the month with an online programming experience that alternated between deep dive experiences centered around: Change Agility and Strengths Finder, a Professional Book Club that featured directed reading, group conversations and copies of Good to Great, So You Want to Talk About Race and Upstream; and CEO Features that provided a chance for intimate conversations with community leaders.
