A Special Welcome for our Keynote Speaker - Linda Flanagan

Common Ground Speaks …

is pleased to welcome, on October 16, 2024, at Morristown Beard School, speaker, author, and journalist Linda Flanagan for an interactive conversation on “Raising Active and Resilient Kids On (and Off) the Field.”

As a former accomplished running coach, Linda will share her expertise as we engage in a thoughtful dialogue on improving the youth sports experience for our children. This event is designed for all parents, whether or not your child is actively involved in sports. You’ll leave with actionable ideas to help your child thrive both on and off the field.

Registered in-person attendees will receive a gift of Linda’s book, Take Back the Game!
