Welcome to the Western Canadian Chapter of MEA alumni!
In the spirit of keeping the MEA vibe alive, we'd like to invite you to join us for our next Chapter event!
We usually meet via zoom every month. Watch your email to receive updates and events throughout the year.
Besides connecting with other MEA alums, these 60-minute events are an opportunity for purposeful conversations. Not only do we share our experiences and insights gathered from our time with MEA, but we also invite suggestions for topics that you're passionate or curious about. There is such a wealth of expertise and passion in our community, you will enjoy many interesting and useful discussions!
And true to the MEA way, we offer the safety of generous listening and authentic sharing from the third vault. (We speak from our heart more than our mind).
If you have any topic you'd like to share or a question you might have for us all, please contact me or go to the proposed list of topics here.
We really hope you can join us for our next exclusively Western Canadian MEA event!
