    20250705 0900 Achieving Unity in the Face of Disagreement

    20250705 0900 Achieving Unity in the Face of Disagreement Originally Broadcasted July 5, 2025, on ACB Media 3   In recent years, American Society has become increasingly polarized around political and other differences in belief. As ACB is a microcosm of society, it is likely our affiliates and local chapters are facing polarization among members. This program helped leaders explore how they can achieve unity in the face of disagreement to help move their organization's programs and activities forward. Through sharing information and role play, we hope participants come away from this activity with tools that will help you be an affective leader in the face of all that is happening around you.   Presenter: Rahel Tesfaye, Graduate Student, Southern Methodist University (SMU), Dallas TX.   Find out more at https://acb-focus-leadership.pinecast.co
