Core Board Bonding

7/13/2020

Each year, ECI's new Core Board gets together for a bonding event to get to know each other better. Due to circumstances this year it had to be virtual, but we made it work! On July 12th, our team had a virtual game night, playing Codenames. Most people had played it before, but it was new to a couple of us. The game really helped us learn how each other thinks, while providing many laughs, as well!
