Larry McReynolds, Executive Director, Family Health Centers at NYU Langone
Linda Timmons, President and CEO of Mosaic
The pandemic has had an enormous toll on front line workers, CEOs and their teams alike—the fear, anxiety, long hours, and never-ending vigilance and flexibility required to fulfill their mission. Even before the pandemic, workforce—and workforce shortages—were the #1 issue that most of our members faced and it’s only gotten more challenging. How do we go forward from here? How do we heal and motivate our workforce? How do we creatively engage with the community to recruit, train and retain a workforce that may not have previously envisioned a career in our organizations? What are the most critical steps that CEOs can take now to meet workforce challenges over the next year and in the future? Join Carolyn Cawley, President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation; the Rev. Kathie Bender Schwich, Chief Spiritual Officer at Advocate Aurora Health; Eric Gurley, President and CEO of Immanuel; Larry McReynolds, Executive Director, Family Health Centers at NYU Langone; and Linda Timmons, President and CEO of Mosaic, in exploring how to energize a workforce to unite with us in our mission-driven work. Wernle Youth & Family Treatment Center’s Darrell Gordon will lead a discussion with the Rev. John Kotovsky, who will share Lutheran Senior Services’ diversity, equity and inclusion journey, what they have learned, what they have done (challenges and successes), and where they are headed from here.
