Meeting #1: April 21, 2026
Our first meeting marked an exciting start as we came together to introduce the goal and mission of PIRE and begin building meaningful connections. Members had the opportunity to learn who we are, what we do, and most importantly who’s in the room. The conversation set a collaborative tone, creating space for introductions, shared interests, and the beginnings of a strong, engaged community.
