Friday Footnote #54
Each week we share loads of content amongst Team ION and with our network. Content that inspires us, which we find helpful or just makes us smile. We thought we would start sharing these insights every Friday. Welcome to Friday Footnote.
Virtual Graduation
Team ION is very excited as next Wednesday we will be running our first-ever virtual graduation ceremony. We have always run our graduation ceremonies face-to-face, and it's one of the favourite parts of our jobs. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, next week we will celebrate with 4 individual leadership cohorts, albeit virtually. We will be joined by a number of invited guests, as well as Mark Colbourne MBE, gold and silver medallist at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, who will be sharing his amazing story.
The team has spent the last few weeks busily preparing for the event, and just yesterday, Adam, Kaye, Sibil, and Clare got together (adhering to all the rules obviously!) to put together some special packages for the graduates. Keep an eye out for some special deliveries!
We cannot wait to celebrate with the delegates. Keep an eye out on our social media platforms next week for more ceremony insights.
