GET SMART! "ReFlect" A Quarterly Steering Committee of the Minds! - In-Person and Virtual Option

GET SMART: ReFlect – SSV Steering Committee

A Hybrid Experience to Look Back and Move Forward

NOTE 1: Only 20 in-person spots before everyone else must be hybrid due to space restrictions. First come first serve.

NOTE 2: Parking if in person: Attendees can park in the parking lot on the right side of building facing the Taco Bell Side (not in front of building, as those are state cars... (you will see orange cones). Then walk in the front of the building and make their way to the 2^nd floor.  You will have to go through security and a medical detector including a bag search for everyone’s safety.

2025 has been a year of movement and momentum. Together, we’ve ReStarted, ReConnected, and ReDiscovered what’s possible. As the year closes, the ReFlect Event invites us to slow down, look back, and recognize how far we’ve come—while preparing for the next chapter.

IN-PERSON is the focus – but we’re going HYBRID again! Join us in person to share stories, celebrate milestones, and reflect on the year’s experiences. If you can’t make it physically, no worries—a Teams link will be available so everyone can contribute.
