My participation in the GEL has had a profound impact on me both professionally and personally. I left the GEL feeling like I (finally!) found ‘my people’ in philanthropy. I now have a global network of peers, friends and comrades working in the crazy and mixed-up world of philanthropy that I can lean on for advice, perspective and support. The GEL left me feeling supported and empowered to push forward with making tangible changes within my own foundation and the way we work that I otherwise would have felt unable to approach on my own.
