What does the COISSA community mean to you?

For Gena Moss-Watson, it’s the relationships that make being part of COISSA so meaningful.

There’s something special about coming together year after year, reconnecting with familiar faces, supporting one another, and building relationships that extend beyond a single event.

That sense of connection is what we hope every member experiences as part of the COISSA community.

Thank you, Gena, for sharing what COISSA means to you and for being part of the community we continue to build together! πŸ’™
