Leadership Case Analysis
Josie Walsh is the CEO and President of Providence Healthcare, and has been serving in that capacity since 2001. Ms. Walsh first came on board with Providence Healthcare in 2001 as Vice President and Chief Nursing Executive. After the 2008 global financial crisis, Providence Healthcare was in decline.

At this event, I will gain additional skills for collaborating with other Green and Gold accounts on issues facing the campus community. I will also learn about the Peer Advising Team’s consultation services which are of great assistance in securing internal development or conference travel funds. Second, I am going to attend Alpha Phi Alpha’s Western Regional Convention in April. At this conference, I am going to participate in the Charles H. Wesley College Brothers Debate in which I will be utilizing rational persuasion to compete against other brothers from across California on stage. There will also be more workshops on collaboration, and delegation of tasks within the College Brothers Retreat. By attending these two events, I will be able to practice in real time the
