Everyone Can Be a Leader: Exploring Nontraditional Community Leadership

From the event description:

This event is part of the Oregon Humanities’ statewide Conversation Project. Popular understandings of leadership tell us that leaders look a certain way: they are in charge. They possess outward strength. They are extroverted and act pragmatically rather than emotionally. How can our unique senses of self contribute to our roles as leaders? This is the focus of “Everyone Can Be a Leader: Exploring Nontraditional Community Leadership,” a free conversation with Pepe Moscoso.

When: Wednesday, May 15, 7-9 p.m.
Where: Dick's Primal Burger, 4905 S.E. Woodstock Blvd.
