– Shannan H., Purpose Program Manager“’Extreme accountability’ is my new mantra for 2024 — embracing it with humble boldness.”
– Susan L., Founder & Chief Executive Officer“2024 is about improving my overall health through exercising at least 5 days per week, doing random acts of kindness, journaling and reading at least 1 book a month.”
– Amy K., Chief Operating Officer“Balance work and training to complete a 100 mile running race.”
