Starting today and through the end of the month, we are hosting eight huddles that focus on Return to Home practices. While these huddles are meant to be used as part of the No Place Like Home Challenge preparation, anyone can participate and learn more about Return to Home (traditionally known as Return to Owner).
Held every Tuesday and Thursday in February, these huddles will have a 20-minute presentation followed by a 20-minute Q&A session (except for the one on technology, which will have four speakers and run a little longer). All huddles will be hosted by Return to Home expert, Gina Knepp. Be sure to register for any that you’re interested in, and come with questions for the speakers!
