Leadership in the Community: Lessons from the Field with Mark Murphy
Thursday, September 24, 2026 from 1 - 2 p.m.; In person & online
Step into an inspiring, one-of-a-kind learning experience that goes beyond the playbook. Join Mark Murphy as he brings leadership to life through compelling stories and real-world insights shaped by his time with the Green Bay Packers and deep commitment to community impact. This engaging, in-person session invites Lifelong Learning members to explore how leadership isn’t confined to titles or arenas—it thrives in everyday actions, civic responsibility and meaningful connections. Blending powerful storytelling with practical principles, the program encourages reflection, conversation and fresh perspectives you can apply immediately.
