How do you educate and inspire a community when the solution doesn’t produce immediate results?  This week Keisha Jordan shares how she keeps her team, her community, and her stakeholders passionate about children’s education while providing funds and opportunities for future success. Listen in as Laura and Keisha discuss the complexities of raising long-term funds for children’s education and what it takes to establish trust and build a team of passionate people over time.

 

Here are a few things you’ll learn during this conversation:
