January Newsletter
Hello, 2024!
As we jump into a new year we are busy thinking about beginnings. We know that “resolutions” can feel intimidating; here at ACE we’re using this opportunity for an annual refresh to consider projects and intentions that feel engaging, exciting and full of potential.
Read on for some of what we’re planning and sharing this winter and spring. No matter where you find yourself, we invite you to consider your “next best move”: is now the time to dive into that new business idea? Learn a new language? Brush up on your leadership skills?
Or maybe you just want to keep the party going! Join us on Wednesday, January 10 for a New Year Open House at Haven for refreshments, merriment and information about upcoming courses and programs at ACE and Haven MV.
We can’t wait to see what you do this year!
