Your insights, creativity, and enthusiasm are the driving forces that make SoulShine a truly special place. It's your vision and input that will guide us in making decisions that benefit our entire community.
Our Commitment to Engagement
We understand the importance of commitment and active participation. In light of this, we kindly remind our board members that missing more than two meetings may lead to your position being reconsidered. This guideline ensures our board remains vibrant and effectively represents our community's interests.
