Steward the Seat

Tuesday, November 17, 2026

1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

The seats we occupy as leaders are part of a story that began before us and will continue long after us. In Steward the Seat, Sylandi Brown invites leaders to honor the vision and values that shaped the institutions they inherited while having the foresight to evolve and prepare for the future. Through practical leadership principles and real-world insights, attendees will reconnect with the deeper purpose behind their leadership and learn how to develop systems that can thrive long beyond their tenure.

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

  1. Explain the role of leadership stewardship in honoring organizational purpose, values, and legacy while preparing for future needs.
  2. Identify leadership practices that balance continuity with the need to evolve, adapt, and respond to change.
  3. Apply principles of stewardship to strengthen systems, develop others, and position their organization for sustained success beyond their own tenure.
