Also-Known-As at 30: A Pre-Anniversary Legacy & Community Briefing
This event is a pre-anniversary community briefing and legacy conversation designed to prepare us ~ collectively ~ for the four-day Also-Known-As 30th Anniversary celebration.
Ahead of our milestone gathering, we invite leaders, members, and longtime supporters into a shared space to reground in our roots, strengthen internal alignment, and build a living bridge between legacy roots and future directions.
Together, we’ll revisit the origins of Also-Known-As and honor the many leaders whose vision and labor built something that did not exist before. Founding and past organization leaders will reflect on formative moments in the organization’s history from early growth and recalibration, to big milestone celebrations and what adoptee joy looks like. This conversation will also create space to name how the organization is expanding, and what community care for its growth looks like.
We will answer questions folks have for what the 30th anniversary will look like, and offer an exclusive in-person offering for registrants. We look forward to building shared excitement and understanding ahead of the full anniversary experience.
