  • "I took up skiing because it was the only sport to call me back!" - Michael Neary

What did we learn?

  • About ongoing research projects and new resources

What are we still wondering? What stuck with us?

  • If we always start with a deficit approach, are we moving or changing anything?
  • I wonder… what do we mean by inclusion? It is a word easily used but we aren’t held accountable to it. 
  • What is in the way of achieving 51%? How do we intentionally change the situation?
  • There is so much more needed for LGBTQ2S inclusion! 
  • Some tough conversations are needed to move the dial forward… coming up…

We asked what is sticking with you! Please see below for a complete list of responses:
