Last week in San Diego I had the pleasure of facilitating a leadership planning retreat with Native Americans in Philanthropy (NAP) leaders CEO and President Erik Stegman and Chief of Staff Rose David. NAP is a core partner of LBC Action and has taught us so much. The organization is reshaping the philanthropic sector by applying Indigenous values, such as reciprocity and intergenerational support, so it can support more respectful, meaningful, and trusting relationships in philanthropy. As we worked together to build out outcomes, roles and responsibilities last week what made us all find our groove was taking moments to enjoy the natural beauty around us and not just work eight hours straight but take time to enjoy each other, nature and celebrate time together. We saw a sunset together that will stay with us for a long time and will give us energy for the challenges that are sure to come.
Relationships are the heart of everything we do. At LBC Action our goal is bringing leaders together to solve big social problems. When the day is done, we celebrate wins as a team and make time for family, laughter, and adventure. The time with Rose and Erik was so special as they are two incredible people and define the values of the LBC Action community.
