**********Special Request for all Participants***********
Hello, ATD Charlotte members and friends,
I could use your help, please. I'm preparing for the October workshop on The Energy of Belonging. I’ll be talking about how feeling cared for, respected by, and connected to our colleagues and facilitators helps to create a sense of belonging. I’m looking for examples of small (or big) acts you, your colleagues, or your leaders have done to make you feel welcome, included, and respected.
Please take 3-4 minutes before Monday, October 1st, 2024, to share your thoughts by responding to this anonymous survey.

Sincerely,
Wendy Gates Corbett
