 Audra Caplan: Leadership and Advocacy (VIDEO) | File Type: video/mp4 | Duration: 32:09

At the same time they are expected to be fiscally responsible and politically savvy. Both types of professional development are extremely important for current and potential leaders. We need leaders who can understand the importance of advocacy and we need leaders who understand that what we are able to achieve depends entirely on the quality of our relationships.
