You're Invited to a Monthly Chat
Where Civic Leaders
Pause to Reflect
Every month, you're invited to a Local Leadership Chat—a free, friendly, and forward-thinking forum for civic leaders across the country.
Hosted by Matt Lehrman of Social Prosperity Partners, this lightly moderated conversation brings together municipal officials, school board members, nonprofit managers and board members, and other community leaders. There’s no formal presentation—just authentic, open dialogue about the challenges you face and the questions worth sitting with.
Attendance is free but limited to 45 participants. Reserve your place early to take part in this reflective and supportive exchange.
Save the date: August 5th @ 1 pm ET/10 am PT
Topic: Beyond Burnout:
Leading When You’re Exhausted
Leadership doesn’t stop when you’re running on empty. This month, we’ll talk candidly about what it takes to keep showing up when you’re stretched, discouraged, or just plain tired. This isn’t therapy—it’s a leadership conversation about finding the energy, focus, and determination to keep doing your best. If burnout is contagious, maybe restoration can be too.
What's the Perspective from Your Community?
Past Topics of Local Leadership Chats
"Bridging Dislike"
Navigating personal tensions within your Council, Board, or Team can be one of local leadership's toughest challenges. Let’s candidly discuss ways to keep personal animosity from derailing the important work of governing - you know, “like a bridge over troubled waters.”
"The Mechanics of Trust"
Let’s talk about how civic leaders earn trust, both individually and for our governing boards and councils. From our experiences, we'll share what works and what doesn't. Join us for a conversation about practical ways to build confidence and credibility in our communities.
"Shaping Tomorrow"
What challenges and opportunities do you see right now that could make a lasting impact in your community or organization? Join civic leaders from across the country to discuss priorities and strategies for building resilience and prosperity in the future.
