#DEVELOP2021
My word for 2021 is DEVELOP. There are a lot of ways to apply and interpret the word DEVELOP and I plan to explore them in depth with the Puente Team as we begin the year. We will DEVELOP ourselves through goal-setting, DEVELOP programs, help others to DEVELOP best practices, and help our contractors and partners with construction DEVELOPment projects.
Reflection 2020-2021
Stay Consistent with Your Mission During the pandemic, the Puente Team has met (almost daily via Zoom) to discuss the challenges and messages of the day.

Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses when it comes to effective networking.
