Join Associate Principal Sonja Bochart, IIDA, LEED AP, LEED AP BD&C, WELL AP, LFA, at the American Public Gardens Association Annual Conference. She will be joined by Mark Wourms, Ph.D., president and CEO of the Bernheim Forest and Arboretum, and Richard Piacentini, president and CEO of the Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens, for an interactive session on organizational Essence.

Within every individual, organization, and place exists an Essence: a living expression of its uniqueness, inner potential, and natural way of contributing to the world. Essence is the deep “why” behind an organization and the distinctive way it creates life-giving value. 

In this interactive session, attendees will explore how to uncover your institution’s Essence, and how to understand and align with your community’s Essence.
