Leading Beyond the Norm: Unleashing Impact in Mission-Driven Roles
In a world and economy where traditional leadership roles (or the lack thereof) often dominate our conversation, mission-driven organizations offer a unique avenue for professionals to expand their influence and drive meaningful change. This session will explore the untapped potential of non-traditional leadership roles within civic tech, non-profits, and government initiatives. Hillary Hartley, CEO of US Digital Response, will share her journey of transitioning from conventional tech roles to spearheading transformative projects in the public sector.
Through compelling examples and personal stories, Hillary will demonstrate how bringing specialized skills to these mission-driven organizations can create a ripple effect, not only in the communities they serve but also in the careers of those who choose to lead in this space. Be prepared to gain a deeper understanding of how your expertise can be leveraged to meet critical needs while simultaneously fostering your own growth and leadership capabilities.
Whether you’re looking to pivot into a mission-driven role or simply interested in how your skills can be applied in new ways, you will be provided with the inspiration and guidance you need. You’ll leave well-equipped with the knowledge and confidence to explore leadership opportunities beyond the traditional paths, with a clearer vision of how to make an impact where it’s needed most.
