We can't be agile if we can't move together." -Tracy Russ, SVP, Civic Leadership Strategy & Impact Robinson Center for Civic Leadership, Foundation for the Carolinas
At a recent Agility Together: Preparing for Convergent Headwinds session, nonprofit leaders gathered for a conversation about the challenges facing our communities and how we can respond together.
Led by Tracy Russ, the discussion explored how policy changes, economic uncertainty and declining social connection are affecting the nonprofit sector and the people it serves.
While the challenges are real, the conversation also highlighted what continues to move our community forward: collaboration, resilience, advocacy and a shared commitment to helping one another.
Thank you to Goodwill Industries of the Southern Piedmont for hosting us and to everyone who joined this important discussion.
