Eliana Lobo, Chair of NCIHC's Standards and Training Committee, hosts the premiere episode. Every podcast will ask three questions of our guest, (loosely based on Charles Dickens' book "A Christmas Carol", where the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future share visions with the main character).
The podcast questions will always be:
- Looking back, what are you most proud of?
- Currently, what do you see as the biggest challenge?
- Looking forward, what would you love to see happen?
Watch the video to see how our first guest, Vonessa Costa, responds to these questions.
