Dr. Ruth Zaplin Leads RAIN Meditation at 2025 Leadership Conference

At the 2025 Annual Key Executive Leadership Conference hosted by American University, Dr. Ruth Zaplin facilitated a transformative session focused on a meditation practice known as RAIN—an acronym for Recognition, Acceptance, Investigation, and Non-Identification. Her expert guidance enabled participants to deeply engage with the practice designed to quiet the mind, transform challenging emotions, and foster awareness and self-compassion.

This conference is a cornerstone event for Key students, alumni/ae, and the broader public service community. The 2025 theme, “Returning to Our Leadership Roots,” celebrated Key’s 50-year legacy and reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to advancing leadership development.
