🤝 Promote Other Chapter Events: We're Stronger Together
I want to give a special shoutout to Christy Tonge, SF chapter lead, who’s always fantastic at promoting other chapter events during their gatherings. It’s a great habit for all of us to adopt! Just because someone is part of one chapter doesn’t mean they shouldn’t join other events—especially topic-based ones like our new Global Trauma (Sarah Giencke + Natalia Bayurova), Mental Health and Neurodiversity at Work (Stephanie Loredo), and soon-to-launch Psychedelics at Work and Founders chapters. Make sure to check the calendar, and encourage your members to explore what’s happening across the entire chapters community!
