Monthly Update from the Executive Director
Dr. Katharine Robershaw
February was filled with creativity, connection, and fun! Our Valentine’s Box Competition was a wonderful opportunity to engage with the individuals we serve and see the amazing designs that captured their attention. Every single box was a testament to the creativity and dedication of our MPower team. Thank you to everyone who participated. You made the event truly special!
As we move into March, we have several important awareness themes to reflect on and celebrate. Women’s History Month is a time to recognize the countless contributions of women throughout history, including those who have shaped our field and inspired positive change. National Nutrition Month is a reminder of the importance of making informed food choices and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Small changes can lead to big impacts on well-being! National Reading Month reminds us that whether it's reading for personal growth or sharing stories with those we care about, it’s important to encourage a love for literacy and lifelong learning. Brain Injury Awareness Month brings attention to those affected by brain injuries and the importance of support, education, and advocacy in their journey toward recovery.
These awareness themes align with what we want to do at MPower - empowering individuals, promoting wellness, and fostering learning and inclusivity. I encourage each of you to take time this month to recognize and engage with these important topics in ways that inspire you.
Thank you for all you do to make MPower such a vibrant and meaningful place. Your dedication does not go unnoticed, and I am grateful for each of you. Let’s make March another month to remember!
