"The One Minute Meeting by Dr. Mary Hemphill, offers ways to empower stakeholders using a meeting strategy that is an effective tool in any capacity, even beyond the educational field . Taking just a minute or two to tune into team or community perspectives, input, and needs, provide important insights, while letting members know their voice is valued. I am excited to use this strategy to collaborate with staff and students on creating a mission statement that authentically reflects our school’s vision and culture."
