In addition to updates on the financial health of the organization, members took a look back at the achievements and highlights of the year, noted the transition from the 2020 Area of Giving (Environment) to the 2021 Area of Giving (Arts and Culture), and welcomed the new Board.

RELEVANCE AND IMPACT
In June, WIN’s Book Club read The Art of Relevance, by Nina Simon. The book generated a remarkable Zoom discussion on how we can expand our relevance to members, new and future. How open are our doors to newcomers? And, once those newcomers are inside, how do we keep each member engaged and willing to share their skills to make a unique Impact in New Hanover County? The Book Club highly recommends this book to every WIN member.
