“ÌýThis hybrid launch was a fantastic opportunity to connect in-person/virtually with other impact professionals across Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾. The co-leads had collated project ideas from the community in preparation and we were able to debate and discuss these together to decide how best to prioritise and take these forwards. It was a valuable opportunity to share ideas together and think strategically about impact needs across Â鶹´«Ã½ÊÓƵÍøÕ¾ and how to meet them."
