His Own Self…Art by Andy Coolquitt…
Wow! Our one Covid year became two+, and we’re still hoping to wind down this particular challenge over the next few weeks. Then, we can more readily address several lingering governance issues, while noting the emergence of new ones. I contend that we’re ready to rise to our occasion with more inspired leadership and collaborative partnerships. We have the resources…just need the will and commitment. This Mosey commentary should prove helpful in your sorting out your role in this civic challenge. We’re on an erratic learning curve, but I have lots of confidence that we’re poised to do better, to be better, to model better. With no better time to consider our opportunity. Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Hopeful New Year!

Wishing you and yours a Happy, Healthy and Reflective Holiday Season!
