Against the backdrop of geopolitical, social, environmental, economic, and global health uncertainty, the role of public servants as trusted advisors is tested like never before.

This event will focus on what it means to be a trusted advisor and on how to analyze the intersection and integration of contextual elements to develop effective policies.
