COT: This is it! My swan song. The last solo Q for me as Regional Q. I have had the absolute honor to lead this organization through almost 700 workouts over 3 years. There are many, many, many things I love about FiA. The thing I love most, and we talk about it so often, is that we have a place for everyone. Today I  talked about the quote that I think sums us up better than just about anything “When you have more than you need, you build a bigger table – not a higher fence.” We have spent many years offering women of all sizes, shapes, political and religious affiliations, a seat at our table. I am a better woman for FiA. I am a better person for all of you and for having to learn to temper my responses to things, for having to learn to work together with other women. I am grateful for all of you, the FiAs past and present, who have walked this journey with me and who have helped shape me and this amazing organization. I am excited for what is to come.
