Council Reflection Session

On Thursday November 25, 2021, we hosted a special Council reflection session facilitated by Michele A Sam. It was a rich learning experience and discussion that celebrated the work the Council has done over the past five years while also providing a new perspective on the work that needs to be done moving forward.
