About the Pathfinders
The Pathfinders began in 1987 when Joe and Rosalie Segal invited a group of passionate community leaders into their home to discuss how to improve our community. Many of you have since joined the cause and have become part of the rich history of the Pathfinders.
This year we have adapted the Pathfinders event into a multi-part series to explore themes on developing healthy and inclusive communities.
