We are all back from our stimulating and refreshing two day annual planning meeting in the tiny, gorgeous hamlet of Barry’s Bay, Ontario in Canada this past weekend. Meeting sessions took place on the humble, exceptionally welcoming campus of Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy. Thursday and then Sunday I was busy transporting staff and board members from three nations to and from two airports in Toronto.

The two days ended off with an exceptionally inspiring, personal presentation from Michael O’Brien while we all sat outside near an absolutely gorgeous lake and hilly countryside scene. You will certainly benefit from the productive discussions of those few days. As board members present noted afterwards, the weekend showed that we really do have an impressive team and this planning and brief respite from the normal daily grind was most necessary.
