This afternoon, we had the first session of the VIP Collaboration Action Group, and the energy in the room was palpable! Not only were people coming together in synergistic ways to truly and authentically support each other, but the generous and open-spirited way each person offered up their own resources and invited the members into their worlds was inspiring. We are working in three pods for close collaborations but also starting initiatives across pods that will provide visibility opportunities for so many. I had big expectations for this group, and they are already being blown out of the water by the incredible people who have stepped forward. I will be putting out another call for interest for our next VIP cohort in the near future. If you think this might be of interest to you, please send me a DM and/or look out for the announcement. Thank you from the bottom of my heart: @Celia Kibler @Sondra Verva @David Iya @Ed Oyama @Kim Job @Liisa Reimann @Traci Poe @Jing Wang @Katya McEwen @Nathaniel Parant @Sybil Hall @Tiffany Noel Taylor @Faith Adebayo @Kevin Gebert@Diana Frank @Mimi Ramsey
