When I joined participants at the Vancouver Art Gallery on June 22nd for our Flourish book launch gathering, there was a particular group of individuals in attendance who stood out. These are the members of the SPARK9 Team, led by Sprout Ideas Fellow Aaliyah Mahboubi. The excitement of the group was contagious and it also reminded me of how much I have missed sharing space in-person with social impact leaders.
One of the activities the SPARK9 team was promoting was their upcoming shoreline cleanup that took place on Saturday June 24th. In follow-up to this effort, I asked Aaliyah to share a few reflections about the team.
