Executive orders have the power to shape policies, influence communities, and redefine leadership priorities. In this session, members of ALP will come together to discuss the ripple effects of recent executive orders on our organizations, programs, and the communities we serve.

Through facilitated dialogue, participants will unpack key policy changes, share insights on navigating challenges, and discuss opportunities for leadership programs to respond effectively. This session will focus on the impact of federal funding freezes. 

Join us as we navigate the complexities of today’s decisions to create a meaningful impact for tomorrow.

Psychology suggests that the head, the heart and the hands form what is known as the leadership trifecta. Through the lens of her Everyday Equity principles, Dr. Matisa Wilbon will empower attendees to utilize the leadership trifecta to establish a more equitable culture in any organization.

Everyday Equity suggests that when we practice equity incrementally every day, we see sustained change from the top down. Throughout this session, Dr. Wilbon teaches leaders how to utilize the leadership trifecta to become more inclusive leaders on all three levels:

  • Educating themselves to understand different equity perspectives, experiences, and challenges (the head)
  • Highlighting inclusive practices by which leaders can cultivate a culture of inclusion (the heart)
  • Inspiring participants to become equity advocates who champion fairness and equitable practices from their leadership position (the hands)

About the Speaker: Dr. Matisa Wilbon is a TEDx and keynote speaker who uses her 18 years as a sociologist and 10 years as an equity and impact specialist to help institutions understand the power of making spaces more equitable. Dr. Wilbon earned her B.A. in Anthropology/Sociology from Centre College in Kentucky. She received her Master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Sociology from The Ohio State University in Columbus, OH. Dr. Wilbon is the CEO of Wilbon Enterprises (WE), a consulting firm specializing in grant writing, Equity and Impact. Through her disruptive leadership model, strategic planning, training and evaluation, she helps organizations move from intention to action.  Dr. Wilbon is a sought-after empowerment speaker, as well. She travels extensively, speaking to corporations, non-profits, college campuses, and leadership groups across the country. Her most recent TEDx talk entitled, Good Grief has garnered thousands of views. It highlights the importance of finding gratitude as well as the good in grief. Her second TEDx talk, "The Power of Every Day Equity" was published in the Fall of 2024.
