It was an honor to guide the NM Deathcare Network through a board development/strategic planning retreat. Formed in 2023, they do the important work of providing access to holistic, non-medical, end-of-life support through a compassionate network of dedicated professionals and community connections.

Four people sit in a casual office meeting, engaged in discussion. They’re seated on chairs around a small table with papers and notebooks.
