The Moral Meaning of the Pandemic Webosium Series brings together public thinkers and a wide range of participants to discuss the deep meanings of the effect that the pandemic is having on daily life—in the short term and in the further future.

Non-Profit Boards of Directors: Dynamics, Diversity, and Dilemmas
As we rebuild society during these strange liminal days of moving out of the pandemic, Koszyn & Company’s Moral Meaning of the Pandemic series shifts focus to pragmatics: how to get the job done, and done superbly, in this next human era. The first three-part program of the Practicum focuses on Boards of Directors, the vital organs of any company. Courageously addressing all manners of topics related to Boards, we will discuss everything from researching, identifying, vetting, cultivating, empaneling, orienting, to high-level discussions of the joys and challenges of developing the dynamics within Boards and between Boards and executive staffs.
