The Presidential Action Network has been learning leadership skills such as relationship building, learning the value of having 1:1 conversations. This action network meets once a month, discussing key topics related to what’s going on in our movement. Regional Presidents are committed to strengthening relationships within their regions, and they will continue to create strategies to engage both existing participants and new members.
