Summary
In this special episode of Speaking of Purpose, Sona Khosla, Chief Impact Officer at Benevity, is joined by Andrea Wood, President and CEO of the Association of Corporate Citizenship Professionals, for a conversation on corporate leadership during moments of crisis.
Drawing from her experience living in Minneapolis, Andrea shares what it was like to witness her community navigate a period of unrest and uncertainty. She reflects on the role of grassroots movements, the power of mutual aid and how individuals and organizations mobilized to support those most affected.
