We talked about where the organization was going, chatted about our roles as chapter members in it and Annelies shared great advice about how I could support my members. As a chapter exec, my role was really focused on the mental health of the chapter (and I wasn\u2019t feeling great about it). But Annelies didn\u2019t enforce the top-down \u201cthis is exactly what you should be doing\u201d I was expecting from EWB staff. An awesome conversation came out of her visit to our chapter that really helped guide me and other members and reinforced my connection with the values of EWB. That\u2019s\u00a040 trips, 40 sessions and 40 important moments of investment. That\u2019s the why of visits, as I see it. But what are they? Twelve members of staff travel across Canada to visit our 40 chapters, presenting the latest and greatest from our organization\u2019s strategy, sharing content specific to each chapter and supporting so many members in so many different roles. That\u2019s 40 trips, 40 sessions and 40 important moments of investment (well, there are lots more than forty of those, but you get the picture). EWB is a really unique and awesome community where people get to do what they\u2019re passionate about and the time staff invests in the chapters help them create the most impact. Chapters learn awesome ways to approach problems and immediately get to practice them in an area they\u2019re passionate about. Being an EWB staff member today, I feel like I embody the value that of that really amazing conversation with Annelies and am super grateful that it happened! Especially since I am now in charge of organizing the chapter [&hellip;]","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/dev-ewb-ca.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/20171003_110637-e1508339062265-470x310.jpg"}
