YOM ODAMTTEN FOX | HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL | GEORGETOWN DAY SCHOOL
“I joined a group called The Community Deans, facilitated by Charles Vogl (The Art of Community and Building Brand Communities). We meet twice a month to explore what it means to be in and strengthen community.
Beyond coming together with people from around the world, it has influenced my approach to everyday life - I am constantly reflecting on my time with people and thinking about ways to strengthen relationships authentically and with intention.”

"Community Deans participation has provided me a much appreciated confirmation regarding my community building efforts.
The academic references and practical wisdom of the participating professionals gave me the evidence base to back my proposals when presenting to my leaders.
Most importantly I feel connected to a diverse group of Community (in the proper sense of the word) who I know that I can pick up the phone and consult if I was ever in a pinch."

“Through the steady rhythm and depth of the Community Deans gatherings, I can confidently say that I now have a circle of ‘3am colleagues.’ These are people who I can come to with total honesty and vulnerability, people who I can call for support and who I know will answer, and people who I know feel the same about me. Despite never having met in person, we've formed an interconnected web of mutual care for one another.”
