🌟 Exciting Weekend Alert! 🌟

I have the incredible opportunity to participate in the MRC Region 1 Clinical Skills Training weekend, facilitated by the Rhode Island Medical Reserve Corps. This weekend is all about networking and building essential skills in self-care and resiliency for leaders.

We are exploring strategies for volunteer recruitment and retention, learning about obtaining funding, and much more! It’s inspiring to connect with fellow Unit Leaders who are equally passionate about making a difference in our communities.

Feeling energized and ready to apply what I've learned! 💪💙
