Anchored in the theme “Passing the Torch: Leadership, Legacy & the Future of PEN,” this session blends learning, storytelling, humor, neuroscience, and genuine connection. Together, Brian and Amy will explore the insights and experiences that have shaped PEN’s past — and its future.
This session also builds on the succession planning conversations Brian has led over the past year, bringing those Baldrige‑aligned principles to life through this real-time leadership transition.
You’ll hear about:
- Brian’s reflections on two decades of advancing excellence across MN, ND, and SD
- Amy’s early perspectives and her vision for supporting members in 2026 and beyond
- What leadership transitions teach us about culture, continuity, and resilience
- The importance of rituals, belonging, and shared purpose (yes — there will be a little brain science!)
- What remains steadfast in PEN’s mission — and what opportunities lie ahead
And because this is a PEN session, you can expect high engagement: live chat prompts, moments of reflection, and opportunities to add your voice as we co‑create PEN’s next chapter.
This session is Thursday, April 9 from 8:00-9:00 CT using Zoom MEETING. Grab your coffee and breakfast, and join us for a rich discussion. Complementary for PEN members ($20 for non-members).
