Loved Megan Reitz’s talk today at the #FTSUConf23 on employee activism. It’s what we do everyday… rock the boat, but not enough that we all fall out! Couldn’t resist a photo #FanGirl ~CT 💚

On route to #FTSUconf23 … in person!!! It’s been 4 years since I last saw a lot of other FTSU Guardians in person 💚 Hugs galore today! The last in-person conference was on my first day as a Guardian - wow, I sure have learned a lot since then! ~CT

So excited that Jeni will be speaking at this year's Freedom to Speak Up Conference
