Get Involved
The Rochester Leadership Team meets on the second Monday of each month at 6:30pm. Meetings are held virtually (for now) and typically 1.5 hours. Team members meet to build relationships, share updates, plan and get work done. Team members commit to volunteering about 2 hours per month outside of meetings to plan and execute various activities, including participating in or supporting various working groups.
