We began by getting to know one another better, understanding our personal connections to Loreto, our passions and our networks. We were then able to turn our attention to some important questions. What values will underpin our choice of projects and organisations? What criteria will guide our decisions about OPEN projects? How will the Coorparoo LJC be structured and sustained?
