EDUCATION & CAREERS Looking for Passion & Purpose? Jumpstart it with “Ignite Your Passion – 5 Days, 5 Ways” An Online Summit By Kathleen Gobos You’ve served our country or perhaps you are still serving, maybe you are transitioning to civilian life or you’re a spouse and looking for more. We came across a fairly new organization called Passion & Purpose. It’s a network dedicated to the exploration, discovery and resources for living for your geographical community to share and ignite our collaborative passions and life’s purpose. The network was born out of a need to balance work and life for professionals, and the insatiable desire to travel the world, explore and be part of a global community. The mission is to create a global community of likeminded people focused on living and sharing our passion and purpose and with that they are launching the Passion & Purpose Online Summit, a first-of-its-kind conference on inspiring passion & purpose. The inaugural conference, which takes place entirely online from July 24-28th, will bring together a global audience looking for ways to ignite our passion. At the five-day online conference, the audience will learn how to take our personal, creative and professional endeavors to the next level while hearing 20 experts share life experiences and what they have learned throughout their personal and professional careers. continued on page 8 7
