In the last 12 months, we have all had to redefine what it means to “gather.” Among families, friends, and professional circles, the reality of this pandemic year has led us to adapt and innovate new experiences and opportunities to connect.

The value of making an effort to come together in spite of continued barriers to in-person experiences was clear last week as Evergreen® leaders and executive teams connected virtually for the second annual Tugboat Institute Gathering of Teams. The fresh perspective, affirmation of shared values, and energy generated from time spent in community with like-minded peers made for an impactful event.
