I invite attendees to join me in building something more collaborative—a divisionwide storytelling effort designed to support both recruitment and retention. In this session, I’ll present a concise model for collecting and sharing staff testimonials that highlight the value, purpose, and pride of working in VBPCS. Through real examples and practical tips, attendees will leave inspired and equipped to help tell our collective story—whether by submitting their own reflections or encouraging their colleagues to participate. This session will provide sample prompts, best practices for framing authentic testimonials, and a preview of how these stories are used across division communication channels.
