    • Creating a list of priorities for progress
    • Reflecting on the importance of diverse opinions and voices
    • Defining the challenges for families in our community
    • Strengthening natural skills as a leader
    • Learning how to build collective power around a goal for change
    • Engaging in interesting and energizing conversations
