WVCCE Post-Election Planning and Strategy Session – Nov. 17

Dear Friends, Partners, and Allies,

We hope you can join us next Tuesday, November 17 at 12:30 PM for a post-election planning and strategy session to discuss challenges and opportunities, and identify some concrete next steps we can take together. Last week was a rough, but the voters have spoken and we’re getting a new president! Although the outcome in WV wasn’t what we hoped for, it is time to continue the work to hold our government accountable to ensure we create a state and country where everyone can thrive. 

Below is the suggested agenda for the call. Carin Schiewe from Re:Power will be with us part of the time help to facilitate the conversation. To receive the Zoom information, please RSVP by replying to this email. 

We have a long road ahead of us, but we are ready to get to work and continue our partnerships and collaborations with you. Hope to see you next week. 

Onward together,

Julie
