Quotable:

Breaking Down Silos: "When I see Silos happening, that's really what grieves me and what I find is a problem in our sector. When we operate in Silos, when we operate isolated, that's really one of the purposes for this community that we've developed, is to broaden the conversation and get us outside of our ruts."
