Since September we have continued to meet monthly and have had five (5) successful in - person workshops and two (2) business meetings. Two of these were hybrid sessions. Though they were very successful, in our most recent business meeting , we was voted to discontinue the hybrid sessions since we continue to hold virtual training sessions and some of the feedback on the evaluations stated that hybrid sessions were a bit overwhelming for both zoom and live participants .
We have continued to have successful Social Justice Zoom sessions with trainers from around the globe, including Herb Propper from Oklahoma, by way of Bangledesh and India, Leticia Nieto from Washington State and Mexico ; and Marjut Partenen-Hertell of Finland. We plan to host this on alternating months in the future.
