We had a wonderful time at our Steering Committee Retreat in September at Encuentro Square Apartments with our Steering Committee members and Working Group Co-chairs.

We spent intentional time strengthening our relationships, reconnecting on our shared values, vision, and priorities, and aligning on how we all want to work together moving forward.

Thank you to Lyndon and Noella of @wedaylight for your help facilitating the retreat and to @luchachicago for the beautiful meeting space! by @elevated_chi
