Questions for our speakers may be submitted here in advance of the March 8th session. The BMC Forum team will help receive, synthesize and pose audience questions during the live session.
Return here to the comments to keep the discussion going afterward! We invite you to contribute to the Forum conversation and to reflect on personal examples from your own experience that further or deepen the themes discussed.
Below, we’ve shared a version of the “meeting agreements” that frame our live discussions, and we will abide by these here in the online version.
In this discussion, we agree to:
- Welcome and respect all voices.
- Recognize that participants are coming to this discussion from different perspectives and cultures.
- Read and consider with openness.
- Take space and make space – by sharing your concise perspective and allowing room for others to offer theirs as well.

Such a rich (with information) session! Thanks for organizing this Bryn Mawr!
Sara Wallace, BMC Dir. of International Advancement
Thank you for joining in, Natalee, and we hope to continue doing more of this programming – both online and in-person around the world.
Marianne Wilton-Blom
thank you to all — the speakers and organization. In my field I run into many companies, meet a lot of people, and see a range of organisational formats. I agree with the importance of creating the environment to allow the team / individuals to perform and be engaged in a common purpose!

Thank you for attending and contributing to the conversation, Marianne. In thinking about creating that kind of generative environment, leadership is key. Here’s a related article that Linda and her colleagues published in February that you may find interesting:
