Greetings from New Chair
I, Adeola Fearon, am honored to be the newly elected Chair of the Leadership Council for URI North America.
It is humbling to have such a diverse and passionate team of leaders at the same table.We, the North America Leadership Council, enter into this new season fueled by the principles and purpose of URI to continue the work of visionaries and truth-seekers who sought peace through the restoration of collective consciousness.
Our intention is to honor that wisdom; engage a movement to cultivate and uplift the strength we hold in the present; and, grow a future enriched with possibilities for holistically healthy communities.
Diversity is and will be our strength. We are all sacred.
Adeola Fearon
