Greetings all POWER Summit folks!

We are so delighted by the success of our first POWER Summit! Thank you to all the participants, volunteers and staff for making the week so meaningful, challenging and impacting. Here are a few photos from the week. I will attach Deep Shikha's lecture notes and statistics as soon as I receive them from her. We will also post a few reunion/looking ahead dates soon. Until then, feel free to post comments, challenges or ideas you've had since the summit ended.

Peace,
Jennifer and Jill
