Dance/USA Annual Conference 2021: The Shift to Shared Leadership
Organized and moderated by Co-AD Katie Wong, this panel discussion for Dance/USA's Annual conference brings together co-leaders from three distinct dance organizations — RAWdance, Hope Mohr Dance/The Bridge Project, and Gibney — to unearth their approaches to shared leadership. Together we will explore the value of a more creative and expansive approach to leadership — from the potential for a better quality of life, to the social impact of a more lateral and equitable decision-making practice.
How does one make the choice to shift from a sole director or founder-led organization to one with distributed leadership? What are the benefits of deep collaboration in partnership, and how can this serve as a powerful reflection of an organization's evolving mission?
Wednesday, June 16
10:30-12pm PT (1:30-3pm ET) online
Featuring:
Katie Wong, Wendy Rein & Ryan Smith of RAWdance
Cherie Hill, Hope Mohr & Karla Quintero of HMD/The Bridge Project
Nigel Campbell, Gina Gibney & Amy Miller of Gibney
