I joined Team PTM officially 12 months ago this week and we’ve been on a rad organizational development journey together ever since.

So proud to be part of PTM Foundation and have never felt more inspired by a group of people than I do with this band, board, and our community partners.

Thank you all! I love you. 🤘

Pete was so gracious and supportive and posted about the campaign and Trillium on all of his social media after the event. It was lovely.  And thanks (as always) to my dear advocacy partner Sheila Hamilton for being such a badass.  🙂
