Then, Now, Next: Leadership Lessons from 40 Years of York SHRM

In HR, you can’t make this stuff up. The environment keeps evolving. Our job isn’t to predict every twist—it’s to build the muscle to respond.
Over 40 years, we’ve navigated globalization, recession, terrorism, financial collapse, social movements, a global pandemic, and now artificial intelligence.
The common thread wasn’t stability. It wasn’t predictability.
It was agility.

Come join us for an evening of celebration, reflection, and a few laughs.

Kristi Weierbach, Kristen Pittman, Jennifer Raschke, and Carolyn Lerew

When Leadership Capability Is Missed — And What Can Change That (05/19/2026)

Topic: When Leadership Capability Is Missed — And What Can Change That

Leadership capability is often missed when it does not fit familiar assumptions about what creates exceptional leadership.

These assumptions unintentionally narrow the pool of talent within organizations that is recognized as ready for advancement.

This session invites leaders to adopt a broader lens to recognize, develop, and benefit from advancing hidden leadership talent.
