Inspired by Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara, we spent the day exploring new ways to better serve our members, strengthen collaboration and continue growing as an organization. Leadership expert and facilitator Justin Smith kicked off the morning session, during which he underscored that “leadership is experienced”—that our leadership, or lack thereof, is felt every day through our actions, decisions and interactions with others.

The retreat was a valuable opportunity to step back from our day-to-day work, learn from one another and align around our shared goals. We left energized, inspired and ready to put these great ideas into action as we continue serving our members and advancing the profession.
