Caring well for the people you send, from first assignment through re-entry.
Member care is the work that keeps everything else standing. This track brings together the care leaders, counselors, HR partners, and directors who carry it — so no one is inventing a crisis protocol alone at 2am, and no one is guessing at what healthy actually looks like.
Track leaders are volunteers who lead alongside their own work.
