Refreshing Opportunities

As the temperatures climb, people's thoughts turn to refreshing beverages.  

You know: the ones you sip and the say "Ah, that hits the spot."

You know what else hits the spot? 

• Refreshing relationships that have gone dormant.  
• Refreshing my understanding of things learned long ago.
• Refreshing an awareness of the emerging challenges and opportunities for one's profession.
• Refreshing your knowledge of the current realities others are experiencing.
• Refreshing one's capacity for trying new things, taking risks, and challenging boundaries.
• Refreshing a commitment to your personal path.
• Refreshing your contribution to advancing your community.
• Refreshing the skillset needed to meet current demands.
• Refreshing your personal health and well-being.

If more associations intentionally integrated these opportunities and facilitated members experiencing them in community with others, I'm pretty sure the universal response would be a simple one.

How refreshing. 

What opportunities would you find refreshing if one of your community or professional organizations offered them?
