Connections and Conversations, is an Advocacy Arena Podcast fostering pathways to strengthen our communities.
In 2021 I began hosting virtual roundtable type conversations…

I want you to meet them and other change makers around the country in different fields.
We’ll peek behind the scenes to explore their contributions and impact.

Advocacy Arena is here to help cultivate the growth of healthy, strong, thriving communities— I hope you will join me on this journey.
