LEADERSHIP CONTINUED LEARNING CAREERS POLICY ADVOCACY MORE VOLUNTEERING "I PLAN ON CONNECTING WITH MORE LOCAL GRASSROOTS ORGANIZATIONS AND HOSTING COLLABORATIVE WORKSHOPS.

BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN ADVOCACY EFFORTS, WORKING TO INFLUENCE POLICIES THAT IMPACT THE HEALTH AND WELL- BEING OF THE COMMUNITIES I SERVE.
