Leadership Rhode Island (LRI) is proud to announce its feature in an upcoming episode of PBS’s acclaimed series America at a Crossroads, hosted by veteran journalist Judy Woodruff. The episode, airing Wednesday, July 9, 2025, highlights LRI’s collaborative work in rebuilding civic trust and advancing cross-cultural leadership in Rhode Island and beyond.

The episode follows a powerful convening co-hosted by Leadership Rhode Island, Civity, the Association of Leadership Programs (ALP), and the National Leadership Network (NLN). It captures a timely and moving dialogue among changemakers about what it takes to lead in a fractured world—and how communities can come together across difference to build something stronger.

"If we build spaces where people feel like they matter, they will lead like they do," says Michelle Carr, Executive Director of Leadership Rhode Island. "This story is deeply personal—and incredibly relevant. We’re honored to share Rhode Island's example with the country."
