These are my girls -Marisa and Tai from UW Miami-Dade. There are two more friends who aren't in this picture - Vanessa and Nori. Reuniting with them at the SLC was one the highlights of the conference for me. I don't mean to belittle the importance of the sessions and conference content. The speakers were motivating and compelling. The sessions were filled with useful information. But when you boil it down, any organization is really a reflection of its people. And the people that I have had the privilege of working with at United Way I now call friends. Together we've gone through marriages and divorces, births and deaths, seemingly endless meetings and a few bottles of wine...we've been through the good, the bad and the ugly...and our friendship has helped support us along the way. So cheers to the people that make up United Way. To old and new friends alike.
