We’re back and settled into our post-EACUBO rhythm, so this week we thought we’d take a few minutes to reflect on lessons learned, lessons (hopefully!) taught, and leave you with some insights on the value of volunteer leadership.

From boards to academic teams, this challenge cuts across leadership and calls on us to be at our most clear and creative.
