The Leading Across Differences peer learning circle is designed to facilitate connections, build relationships, and foster candid discussion about the rewards and challenges of working to connect and collaborate across differences. Meeting every other month, the peer learning circle provides a supportive environment for alumni of the Bridging Differences Leadership Cohort to explore the question “what now?” as they continue to build the muscles necessary to navigate deep divides in their own work and communities.
Peer Leads
Who Can Join?
Leading Across Differences is for alumni of Council's Bridging Differences Leadership Cohort who are currently affiliated with a Council member, or Council member eligible organization. If you do not fit this criterion, we invite you to engage in our related offerings. The peer learning circle is led and facilitated by Cohort alumni and is coordinated by Council on Foundations staff.
When Is It?
Leading Across Differences occurs bi-monthly via Zoom. Participants are not required to attend every session. To facilitate candid discussions, meetings will not be recorded.

What Type of Topics Will be Discussed?
As a member-led peer group, discussions will be framed and driven by participants. Prior sessions have included skills refresh from the program, discussions around the bridging skills needed to meet the moment, virtual networking and peer shares for personal and professional journeys centered on bridging differences. No preparation will be required in advance, but from time to time the team may share resources with registrants that could help to ground our upcoming discussions.
How Else Can I Connect with Alumni of the Program?
Join our Alumni-only Linkedin Group. Request to join the group and you will be added by Council Staff.
