So how do we support and mentor LE Workforce members to become leaders, representatives, and informed contributors at the executive and strategic governance levels?

The challenges and limitations of this binary will be explored. The webinar will conclude with reasons why a third category of lived experience needs to be defined: that of dual experience.
