  This session invites EMC members to reflect together on their motivations for joining, their expectations of EMC/IMC and their experiences within the network. Through a mix of structured sharing and open discussion, the session aims to explore both common ground and diverse perspectives, especially around how different types of members relate to EMC’s work and what solidarity looks like in a network of such diversity. This collective reflection will inform EMC’s future direction with respect to the range of needs of its membership.
