Annual Planning Meeting – Goes Virtual
June 23, 2020 – Our 21st Annual Planning Meeting went Virtual!
On Tuesday, June 23rd, FPS hosted its Annual Meeting via Zoom with the Board and Advisory Board members present. The Annual Meeting kicked off with a testament from FPS Traveler Makala Ashmar. Makala recently decided to embrace palliative care and shared with the group her intent to establish a legacy gift for the organization. Her inspiring story and engaging spirit set the tone for an inspiring conversation about how to advance the FPS mission; you can listen to her meaningful testimony she shared in regards to our Young Friends Society here. To review the information presented at the Annual Meeting, access the Agenda powerpoint here. For any questions related to the meeting, please email CEO Marci Schankweiler at marci@takeabreakfromcancer.org. Many thanks for all those that participated.
