"We're all facing an unknown future, human challenges and economic struggles," Myers commented. "MediaVillage was founded on the principle of collective impact for growth. By joining together, we can assure the survival of non-profit organizations and initiatives that are the bedrock of our community and the foundation for renewal. My Leadership Conversations amplify our industry's voices of leadership in marketing, talent development, creativity, education, and business solutions. At this critical juncture in history, we're all depending on leadership, on building bridges across industry sectors, breaking down competitive barriers to growth, and generously supporting the non-profit organizations on which we depend for a positive future.

Now is the moment to recognize and advance wisdom, leadership, education, and opportunity.

Now is the moment to invest, implement, scale and build on success."
