This EMI e-Forum will feature the following panelist:

For the Future of the Next Generation. Time for a Giant Leap


CHANGE without SACRIFICE is an ILLUSION.      Lisa Ellis (2018)


Time to make the change by putting our Ego’s aside.
Time to make the change by accepting different approaches and not just ‘business as usual’.
Time to make the change by not accepting the rule that you need money (it helps) to make the change.
Time to make the change by changing your view for what the future can be.
Time to make the change by communities taking charge of their communities.
Time to make the change by getting involved in local government policy, local government policy feeds federal policy.
Time to make the change by getting involved in homelessness, slavery, and other social issues.
Time to make the change by taking care of mental as well as physical health concerns.
Time to make the change by collaborating, and partnering.
Time to make the change by a slight shift in priorities.
Time to make the change by saying ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

Make the change.

Make the sacrifice.
