C9 Team Member Spotlight?: Meet Heather Willems, one of Coalition9's group facilitators! Coalition9 first partnered with Heather and TwoLine Studios in August 2021, when she brought her talent for live graphic recording to a C9 event. Soon after, she joined as a C9 Member in the fall of 2021. Her deep connection to the community and passion for leadership led her to transition into a facilitator role in November 2023, where she now helps guide and support leaders on their growth journeys.
