On Monday, Rockwood celebrated our 15th birthday with delicious food, warm conversation, a bit of dancing, a lot of laughter… and a brass band.
We were welcomed to Impact Hub Oakland by its co-founder and CEO Konda Mason. After special messages from Rockwood’s board chair Greg Hodge and co-founders Robert Gass & Andre Carothers, CEO Akaya Windwood lead everyone through personal leadership reflection exercise. It was a beautiful, joy-filled night. Thank you to everyone who came, and everyone who was there in spirit.
