ST. LOUIS – Sometimes change comes quickly in sweeping waves, and other times it comes little by little, like falling rain. Change though, is best when it is embraced, encouraged and empowered.
“Each day poses new opportunities for challenges, chaos and most importantly, change,” said Steve Sommers, executive director and co-founder of TEDxStLouis. “Our community in St. Louis is a rich tapestry of changemakers who are making differences, every day.”
