September 2025 - Chapter Meeting

Building a Healthy & Resilient Organizational Culture

We’ve all witnessed how fatigue and burnout can lead to personal and organizational ineffectiveness, higher turnover, and lower job satisfaction for leaders and the teams they serve.  

In an engaging 90-minute workshop, presenters Anne Ballentine and Emily Jonesberg will help you develop a plan to guard against burnout and build resilience for yourself, your team, and your organization. The interactive session is designed to help participants become more effective leaders, facilitating a workplace culture where team members feel heard, cared for, and motivated to achieve.
