Special Announcement
FELLOWS ALUMNI SURVEY: Just two more days to win a coaching session with Fellow Heather Hubbard!
There are just two more days to fill out this year’s Fellows Alumni Survey! The survey takes less than 10 minutes and helps demonstrate the value of the Fellows Program and the Alumni network. It also helps ensure that as LCLD grows, both the Fellows Program and the Alumni network continue to meet your needs.
Click here to begin taking the survey.
We will be raffling off a coaching session with 2013 Fellow Heather Hubbard to one Fellow who completes the survey before the deadline of Wednesday, November 27. Heather is fully booked for 2020, so this is your only chance to get a coaching session with her in the coming year.
We are also offering prizes (and bragging rights!) to the class with the highest response rate. The class of 2018 remains in the lead, but there's still time for others to catch up!
