The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted and exacerbated the disparities existing in healthcare, housing, economic mobility, education, and many other areas, with low-income communities, women, and people of color being hit hardest. How can we position our recovery for a stronger, more equitable future? In this webinar, Coro’s 2021 Crystal Eagle Award Honoree Judy Belk, President & CEO of The California Wellness Foundation, will share her insight and reflections on the past year, what the future holds, and important leadership lessons learned along the way.

This webinar will be moderated by Coro Alumna and Board Member Andrea Foggy-Paxton, founder and CEO of Foggy-Paxton Consulting, LLC.
