On Wednesday, March 22, over ninety Operation Arrow staff members gathered virtually for our first ever Fellowship Forum. During this online gathering, national officers Zach Grinvalsky, Grant Kim, Matt Carlson and Michael Whitford introduced themselves and the myriad staffing opportunities in 2023. Program Jamboree Vice Chief Carter Stoner spoke about the history of the OA at jamboree and its importance today. Then, staff split into Zoom breakout rooms to get to know one another. The gathering ended with a question and answer session. Stay tuned for an invite to our second Fellowship Forum, which will be held in late May or early June.
