Linda Orlans Accepts Invite to Harvard Advanced Leadership Team

Linda Orlans, Orlans PC, Executive Chair, has accepted an invitation to join Harvard University’s 2021 Advanced Leadership Initiative (ALI). She will have the privilege of working on society’s most pressing challenges with some of the most passionate and talented people in the world.

As a Fellow, Orlans plans on turning what she has learned over her lifetime into meaningful change for others.
