upcoming events


  • As we have been sharing, our Transition work continues through Listening Sessions which will be held during the month of November. These sessions are your chance to share your perspectives directly. There will be several sessions offered to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules. Each session will have approximately 10-12 people to allow ample opportunity for everyone to share their experiences, and each session will be facilitated in an identical manner for consistency.  


    The Listening Sessions will allow us to explore some areas from the survey more deeply and ensure we have a complete understanding of your perspectives to guide us as we move forward. Please sign up for the Listening Session that works best for you using the link below.
