As the holiday season approaches, the hearts of our friends at the GW Center for Excellence in Public Leadership (CEPL) are filled with gratitude. In the spirit of gratitude, we find joy in the countless stories of visible leadership "growth moments" that have unfolded within the dynamic community of their leadership program participants. From transformative experiences to pivotal moments of realization, these stories serve as a testament to the profound impact their programs have on shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

Their alumni stand as living proof of the transformative power of our programs. Having equipped themselves with the knowledge and skills gained at CEPL, they have gone on to make significant contributions in their respective fields. GW CEPL takes pride in witnessing these individuals not only apply their learning but also use it as a catalyst to pivot their organizations toward greater success and positive change.

However, the celebration extends beyond individual success stories. At the core of GW CEPL's impact is a vibrant community of leaders who collectively contribute to the creative energy that defines our work. It is through the collaboration and dedication of this community that they can create an environment conducive to growth, innovation, and lasting change.

This Thanksgiving, GW CEPL wants to turn the spotlight on their valued community. They invite you to share your testimonials and moments of gratitude regarding your experiences with GW CEPL. Whether it's a personal revelation, a transformative learning experience, or a story of how you've implemented CEPL teachings in your professional journey, we want to hear from you.

Please take a moment to email your testimonies or expressions of gratitude. They are eager to showcase the diverse and impactful experiences of the community on their LinkedIn page on Thanksgiving Day. Your stories not only inspire us but also serve as a source of motivation for others on their leadership journey.

At GW CEPL, this holiday season is not just about giving thanks; it's about celebrating the collective achievements, growth, and positive change that have emerged from their shared commitment to excellence in public leadership. Together, they continue to shape a future where leaders are not only skilled but also compassionate, visionary, and ready to tackle the challenges of our ever-evolving world.

May the spirit of gratitude and the pursuit of excellence continue to guide us in the years to come.
