February 2026 Leadership Development Meeting

Description

Building and Sustaining Meaningful Connections

Did you know... your voice is a strategy? The way you communicate shapes culture, strengthens credibility, and drives influence.

Join us for an intentional and insightful session with award-winning communications expert Kristina Hendrix, APR, Vice President for Strategic Communications at The University of Alabama in Huntsville. Drawing from more than two decades leading communications across NASA, the Department of Defense, higher education, and corporate environments, Kristina will explore how leaders can leverage their voice to lead decisively, communicate effectively, and inspire alignment.

Participants will leave better equipped to:

• Leverage voice as a leadership tool to strengthen influence, trust, and strategy
• Communicate with authority and clarity in complex, high-visibility, or high-stakes environments

• If you’re ready to elevate how you show up, speak up, and lead up...with impact, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
