Community input shaped strategic plan
Hundreds of community members shared their wisdom and experience through community listening sessions, key informant interviews and focus groups over the past year. Our team also engaged in conversations with hundreds of organizations in the communities where we live and work. These insights and perspectives have helped us better understand what is important to community—from those closest to the issues, who can advise us as we consider how to support solutions.
We will share how these contributions shaped our new strategic plan at a webinar on Wednesday, March 29. All are welcome.
