Women in Leadership
We also celebrated events from the past year where virtual ministry had continued.

Women Cohorts - over 100 women gathered this past year. Many thanks to all those who led, participated, helped lead trainings, and are continuing with this commitment in their leadership context. Shout out to the Coordination work of Rev. Marti Burger who helped make these happen!
-
Women of Color Cohorts - leaders are continuing to meet and provide specific support, development, and healthy spaces during the ongoing trauma of Black and Brown communities, APPI violence, and more. Many thanks to the leadership of Rev. Stephanie Ahn Mathis, Rev. Dieula Previlon, Rev. Ruby Varghese, and more who are helping facilitate these gatherings in various spaces.
