A Decade of Dedication


Landing 750 and Setting the Course for More

Chapman Foundation for Caring Communities is excited to announce that it has completed 750 (seven hundred and fifty) personal and professional development courses in communication skills. The powerful three-day communication course “Our Community Listens” is conducted in partnership with communities, organizations, and businesses from around the globe to improve the communication skills of people from all walks of life. “We would like to thank our alumni, collaborators, and partners for being a part of this successful milestone,” said Misty Janks, Foundation CEO.
