Northern Virginia Community Resetting the Table Workshop

Strengthen our Northern Virginia Jewish leadership community.

The NoVA Leadership Series brings Jewish leaders and professionals together to deepen relationships, gain practical leadership skills, and strengthen our collective capacity to meet the evolving needs of the Northern Virginia community.

The second workshop in the series—offered in partnership with Resetting the Table—features a Speaking Across Conflict workshop that brings together lay leaders from NoVA for a dynamic afternoon of skill-building. Participants will have the opportunity to share their own views and experiences in a way that makes both differences and commonalities visible.

In this interactive session, you will:

• Deepen your listening skills to elevate conversations across our community
• Gain practical tools to speak with confidence across differences
• Offer feedback as we explore ways to share and utilize these skills more broadly
