Our Delegate Meetings are held virtually on Zoom, providing a dynamic and interactive platform for connection and collaboration. Utilizing breakout rooms, participants have the opportunity to engage in focused discussions on their own initiatives, share innovative ideas, propose solutions, and delve into broader current events and themes. These meetings foster a rich exchange of knowledge and experiences, empowering delegates to drive impactful change within their communities and beyond. Join us to connect, learn, and inspire each other in our collective efforts toward a sustainable future.
