What is Spring 2023 WIN Week About?

Building Community 

WIN Week is about building community. Advancing equitable well-being is challenging, rewarding, frustrating, and exciting work: 

• We are creating space to share our lived experiences and deepen our relationships. 

• We are celebrating the leaders, partners, and friends working tirelessly in communities, networks, and organizations across the country.

Taking Action

As a growing network, WIN has an evolving portfolio of projects and activities. WIN Week is a chance to showcase our collective progress and to help partners (and potential partners) find ways to engage in our shared work.
