Power Luncheon | Better Together: The Power of Partnership to Change Communities

The world’s biggest challenges can’t be solved by one organization, one leader, or one industry alone.

As President and CEO of HealthPartners, Andrea Walsh has led one of the nation’s largest nonprofit health systems by building partnerships that improve health, expand access, strengthen communities, and create lasting impact. From advancing children’s health and mental health to improving affordability and health equity, her leadership demonstrates that meaningful progress happens when people come together around a shared purpose.

Just days before International Women’s Day, join us for an inspiring conversation as Roshini Rajkumar interviews Andrea Walsh about collaborative leadership, the courage to tackle complex challenges, and why the future belongs to leaders who build trust, embrace diverse perspectives, and accomplish more together than any one organization ever could.
