AnneMoss follows safe messaging and reporting
“I had the privilege of attending the hosted event this past week with keynote speaker Anne Moss Rogers. I find I have few words to describe the evening…it was riveting. It gave me pause and has stayed with me. I’ve had several conversations this week with friends who feel the same. So I’m writing to ask you to bring Anne Moss Rogers back again next year and to open it up to the entire district.”
