Staff Perspective: What’s Ahead at the CDP in 2022?

It’s that time where we all reflect on 2021 (what a year!) and prepare for the year ahead. For me that also involves the routine, yet important task of renewing my professional insurance. A key element in that renewal process is to review the continuing education trainings I’ve completed. As I reflect on these professional activities, it also stirs excitement about things to come.
