Theme for the meeting: A Lot (Or a Little) Can Happen In a Year

As the weeks fly by, 2026 is now racing towards us. Christmas, the Holiday Season, New Year's Eve, New Years Resolutions and then the January blues.

And it's around this time that we begin to reflect about what we've accomplished (and what we haven't). How much we've changed and in what ways we've remained exactly the same. This is the time to focus our minds to what we can accomplish in a year, and the potential that we might stagnate if we do nothing.

Let's use the promise / threat of another year to aim to test and learn. Try new things, keep what works and discard what doesn't.

Let's move forward with the aim that a year from we will have pushed our boundaries, made ourselves uncomfortable and have new experiences under our belts.
