What Our Past Participants Say About Masterclass
I am so grateful to Caravanserai Project for bringing forward-thinking tools, approaches, and national subject matter experts to the Inland Empire. Each training has elevated the conversations, perspectives, and resources which have stretched and grown me as a leader. You have helped us forge new goals to take us to the next level. Thank you!
As a new non-profit CEO, the Caravanserai Project master classes have been invaluable. The experts and participants shared a wealth of information. They provided perspectives that opened up possibilities I didn’t realize existed before. There is so much good advice, I cannot implement it all now. I plan to review the material at least every quarter to add to and refine what I’ve been able to put into place immediately. I hope to continue connecting with the participants for many years.
