 One of my favorite parts of FBH is the range of professionals and community members who participate. Brings in a diversity of perspectives and experiences I don’t see as much in my day-to-day work context. 

Molly Reinhard, Director, Pre-Professional Advising, UW-Madison

 Thank you so much, Kathy and Denise, for your incredible leadership throughout this experience! I got so much out of it — it makes me feel hopeful and more empowered to support my organization and our work going forward — beyond just meetings!

 You are both masters of your craft and have adapted the delivery of this series superbly to the virtual mode.
