Together Toward Tomorrow 2021
It was a beautiful day in this virtual neighborhood. Our 2021 conference embodied the spirit of inclusiveness, joy, optimism, and the “will do” attitude that someone like Mr. Rogers would have appreciated. Fred Rogers is often thought of that unique TV personality who embodied the values he shared with kids of compassion, kindness, humility, and integrity. And he delivered his messages in a way that was seemingly simple.
When I think of my colleagues in local government and those within CSMFO, I find the same common values and natural inclusiveness qualities. And, specifically, when I think of how “simply effective” our virtual conference was, I’m so grateful to all our volunteers and staff who developed what became a very inclusive and historic virtual experience.
