In the Midst of Chaos, Our Work Continues
I’ve been listening to podcasts, reading the latest news and speaking to knowledgeable friends in an attempt to understand and make sense of the new policies being implemented and how they will impact business and society. While it may feel overwhelming and difficult to keep up with the firehose of activities, what’s clear is that companies still need and want to support their communities, reduce their environmental impact and engage their employees.
I’ve been honored to meet hundreds of extraordinary individuals who have spent their lives helping companies be responsible corporate citizens during uncertain times and are now part of our network. And as corporate leaders pivot to meet these unprecedented times, these seasoned experts bring a wealth of experience that can turn challenges into opportunities, helping companies not just survive but thrive in meeting the evolving expectations of their stakeholders.
Sending you all my encouragement, energy, and support.
