Due to pandemic restrictions, we have not been able to meet in person until now. Our first team leadership retreat will be held in September 2021. We will be training the team to understand more fully the impacts of trauma, the emerging science of treatments, and then planning our programming and goals for 2022.

on May 29, we completed the four days of live streaming of the 32nd Annual International Boston Trauma Conference. We started with two days of concurrent tracks of pre-conference workshops, went through two full days of in-depth research and clinical keynote presentations, and ended with a live Quaker Meeting in a zoom room of participants from around the world. It was our second VIRTUAL International Trauma Conference. The first virtual conference was held last year, when our traditionally live conference was cancelled. Last year, amidst all the uncertainty of the emerging pandemic, the partners that traditionally have supported us were not able to be part of the conference. And we scrambled with a heroic makeshift team that made the conference an astounding success, with over six times the attendance we had previously reached. This success changed who we are as an organization, who we understand we can extend our reach to, and what we understand we can do in the world. Through the rest of the year and into this year, we have built upon that success to become a full online presence with our Therapeutic Alliance allies around the world. Hence, over 4,200 people joined us this year. The Trauma Research Foundation is comprised of a stalwart team of extraordinary people who have been working together to make all our programming happen since the 2020 virtual conference. They are dedicated, smart, creative, resourceful, energetic, generous, and kind. They embody the mission and values of our organization. They are the drive and collective energy that makes our ideals manifest. Each person on the team is essential, and we could not do what we do or provide what we provide without them. The miracle is that though we meet and work closely together daily, week to week, month to month, we have yet to meet in person. We plan to hold our first in-person team leadership development retreat in September 2021.
