Coronavirus Update
COVID-19 has now been confirmed as a pandemic by the World Health Organization and travel has been banned between many regions of the world. Organizations around the world are asking their employees to not travel, attend gatherings, and work from home.
After taking into consideration this rapidly evolving situation, the Mindtrust leadership team has decided to postpone the Global Leadership Forum which was scheduled for June 28 to July 3. We hope to maintain the theme, agenda, speakers, etc. for the Forum but will need to re-confirm the speakers and participants once a new date has been established.
We will let you know the new dates in the coming months. In the meantime, best wishes for you and your family while the world comes to terms with this pandemic.
Sincerely,
Claude Haw
President, Mindtrust Inc.
CALL TO ACTION
It’s time to face the difficult truth. Today’s leaders have not taken the necessary action to slow, let alone reverse, global warming – it is happening now and we are only beginning to feel the impact on our daily lives. Current and future leaders are not prepared to make decisions, reform policy, and reshape our world when the time comes. We’re seeking 40 young, impact-driven, and demonstrated global leaders with an interest in the future of leadership, a desire to make an impact and concern over climate change. Are you one of them?
