JCESR has had a very successful first five years. The personal relationships we’ve formed now enable us to move forward with even more momentum. Recently, the team of more than 150 came together for its first full program meeting since renewal. As stated by the team, there is no replacement for direct human interaction. It is easy to get excited when you see the entire JCESR community working toward a common goal. The momentum created when we all come together will have a positive impact on the team for several months as we continue to work more closely together.
