We've made it to the end of our season, but before we all take a much needed summer reset, we've gathered some of OLA's most super stars for a sneak peak into The Association's new Strategic Plan that will be guiding us through the next three years. Host and Executive Director of the OLA, Michelle Arbuckle is joined by Emily Burns (Director, Education & Impact), Dr. Sabrina Saunders (Director, Operations), and Melissa Macks (Director, Member Engagement) as they discuss the plan's objectives, how our team will implement them, and why everyone should have a strat plan of their very own. We hope you enjoy this week's episode, and we'll see you back here in September.
