Sometimes you don't know... ...the impact you're having until someone tells you the difference you've made. 4 years after lockdown, we received a gift of gratitude from one of our clients about how she was helped by our team. Barbara gave Sherry and Bill a card and thank-you gift. Here's Barbara's story: “I’ll never forget the kindness and patience you showed years ago during COVID when I was struggling with technology as we suddenly started working virtually. I was feeling so overwhelmed and lost with all the changes that I was ready to quit my job at the state but Sherry and Bill showed kindness and patience! Sherry got online with me the night before our workshop and helped me get everything sorted. Their kindness and patience made the difference I needed to stay in my job!”

Cultivating Organizational Belonging: A Blueprint for Sustainable Change Belonging is not just a basic human need; it's a fundamental aspect of our existence. We advocate for a paradigm shift: embedding belonging into the organizational culture from the outset. Before we can extend belonging to families and communities, every member within an organization must first experience it. Leveraging Gaelin Elmore's 4-dimensional belonging framework, we outline a comprehensive strategy to weave belonging into every layer of organizational practice, recognizing its potential as a catalyst for long-term success. Sherry Amelse and Andrea Robideau will be presenting with Gaelin Elmore at the annual Kempe Conference - A Call to Action to Change Child Welfare. We hope to see you there! www.ctaconference.org
