They say things mighty come in small packages! Thatโ€™s exactly what this team is, Small but mighty! We were joined by our Vice President, Keri for a day of team building, strong conversations about how our organization is growing and moving forward in our new Fiscal Year.
We are proud of all the work this team, volunteers and board does for our organization. We truly couldnโ€™t continue the good work we do without them.
Every voice, every question, every meeting, and every conversation. Each hour of involvement makes an impact.
We are thrilled to continue our round table discussions regarding mental health & Peer Support Services here in Iowa. Conversations that inspire action.
