2:00 to 2:45 pm Table Talk Activity

Everyone has problems they are trying to solve. Whether it’s related to how to improve your routine for better habits or how to engage your new board member, an outside perspective can help uncover fresh ideas. In this table talk session, we will do just that. Everyone should bring one problem they are currently facing in their life. No problem is too big or too small. We’ll split up into small groups to get advice on your problem. You will get perspectives from people with different careers, experiences, and ages.

This is hosted by Kim Richman.
