Carriers
A community support space for Buffalo’s organizational culture shapers.
Times are uncertain. You don’t have to navigate it alone.
With increased polarization, the role of organizational culture-shapers has been called into question. But right now, your job is more important than ever.
Culture Carriers is a space for you to come together with other people-focused leaders to share ideas, gain insights, problem solve, and stay up to date on best practices in the field.
Because we are stronger together.
