Piper — 2026-27 League Year

Year-specific details and contacts

League Year Theme

2026-27 Theme
Contagious Courage

The theme lives most naturally in story selection: which members we profile, which community moments we document, which voices we elevate.

Reference: Spring 2026 "Permission to Go" issue as a model for theme integration. Back issues available on Google Drive and with Kris.
