    MAC Moment #13: I Am Expanding The Room

    For a long time, this work has been built through individual conversations, decisions, and experiences. But growth requires expansion. In this MAC Moment, Melissa Chavez shares why it is time to bring new voices into the room. Not because the work is changing, but because the perspective is evolving. The next phase is not built alone. It is built through shared insight, real conversations, and leaders who are actively in it. This is the beginning of what comes next. In connection and intention.
