Our Communities
The "Longest Table" image comes from our friends at Howard and Harford County MD Library Systems representing being nourished in community. To paraphrase insights from Richard Harwood, it is in our local communities where people can turn outward toward one another and get things done together.
As we look to the New Year, I am reminded of the love and compassion, hard work, and commitment you have shared with me, your clients, and ISPI as a whole. For the past 60 years, ISPI has been committed to actions that support "being better matters."
Over the past few years, ISPI Potomac has worked with practitioners around the world who want to thrive in the new hybrid ways of working. As a global society of practitioners, we are committed to help each other, our communities, our organizations, and our world in the years to come.
Invitation
As a society, we have always applied critical thinking and evidence to every challenge we have faced. As we enter 2022, I invite you to join me as we also demonstrate our capacity for love, courage, and humility as we co-create a more human workplace, schoolplace, and community-place.
