right now! "- Brené Brown, Ph.D., LMSW, Author of the #1 New York

for our journey." -Simon Sinek. Optimist and Best Selling Author

most productive and rewarding time of my life. Applying one’s
knowledge and passion in the service of missions larger than
ourselves is the greatest gift of being a Perennial." - Sherry
Lansing, Founder & CEO, the Sherry Lansing Foundation, Former

the like, is still essential.” – Arne Sorenson, President and
