WHAT IS AN IMPACT GROUP

These are key people from within your network and who might benefit from being included in the thinking, reflecting and connecting for mission. We recommend that a group meets once a month for 1-2 hours.

ONLINE REFLECTIONS

As you meet in your Impact Groups, you will formulate thoughts and conclusions that we would love for you to share with other Impact Groups. Each month there will be a comment section where you will be able to share your reflections.
