Resilience Summit

Running Start is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that actively seeks and trains young women from both sides of the political aisle to run for elected office. Since 2007 Running Start has trained 30,000+ changemakers from all 50 states and 25+ countries. With 94% of our alumni actively engaged in their communities and one-third having run for office, we're building a generation of leaders who believe in their potential.

People at the top of their game in business, politics, and media will share how to take risks, how to recover from mistakes and bad luck, and how to turn those experiences into leadership lessons.</SPAN></P>
