​ QUOTES FROM LEARNING COLLABORATIVE MEMBERS -

​

​The Learning COLLABORATIVE gives learning professionals the forum to collaborate, learn, and grow together. Regardless of your company or organization, Elliott Masie acts as a conduit to new ideas, leaders, and colleagues from all over the world. The events in 2020 changed the dialogue and we now need new conversations to pivot in the right direction. Long live the Learning Collaborative!
- Mark Wagner, The Hartford

​

Two critical imperatives face those of us in the learning field. The first is to ensure that those we serve are in strong positions to be able to meet tomorrow’s challenges. The second is to ensure that we, as learning leaders, are active architects in building a better future.  Creating this vision becomes challenging as the complexity and pace of change accelerates. For over a decade, I have turned to this country’s leading learning architect, Elliott Masie, for his visionary thought leadership, guidance, and deep commitment to creating a culture that supports lifelong learning for all. I am so grateful for his guidance, vision, knowledge, and ability to gather today’s great thinkers in his quest to create a better tomorrow.
- Diane Adams, Mount Sinai Health System
