“I have been able to take back knowledge and insights from each session to each of my boards, actively using the knowledge from the sessions to become a more productive member of my organizations. I also really enjoyed getting to visit so many organizations around CO, and loved making so many new friends. I hope to continue seeing everyone in my cohort and hopefully to make and do fun events with them.” – Brandon Vargas, Meow Wolf
