FAQ’s

  • In community, we will harvest the learnings from the past months and years. As Purposeful Leaders, we will explore what we want to strengthen, and bring forward, on behalf of those we serve. As we emerge together, we will create to reflect the synthesis of what we’ve learned, with a vision for a future world that works for all.
