Jessica Muroff showed up at 5:30 AM to lead us after landing overnight in California for a mother-daughter weekend. Kem Toole logged on despite having spent the week bedridden with a particularly pernicious cold. Together, Athena’s board members and committee chairs convened to answer one question: How’re we doing?
This was the brainchild of Andrea Floyd. Back in July, the same leaders spent half a Saturday together at Athena’s Visioning Summit, designing a vision statement, values, mandatory action steps, and calls to action for members – all to make meaningful progress this year for Athena. Our mission became, as you know, to “promote mental health and emotional wellness for ourselves and our community.” It was Andrea’s idea to reunite halfway through the year to hold ourselves accountable, investigate if and how we moved the needle, communicate challenges, and continue to advance.
You can see Jessica’s work as facilitator here. What follows are highlights from board members and committee chairs.
