The importance of workplace respect
In today’s energetic and evolving work landscape, fostering an environment of respect in the workplace is essential. Workplace respect is more than just a catchword; it is the foundation of psychological security and the bedrock upon which workplace trust is built. Respecting colleagues, valuing their contributions, and treating everyone with dignity not only boosts individual well-being but also drives organizational success.
Lauren Baer: July update
Since the last newsletter in May, it seems as if the world has changed again and that the headwinds against diversity, equity, and inclusion work continue to mount and grow stronger. This is not the direction we want to see, and yet here we are. While it is understandable to feel some level of defeat and shock over the recent circumstances and decisions, it is a clear sign that the work being done by those committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion is even more important.
Lauren Baer: May update
For many people, May is a month of transition. Universities are winding down the semester, students are graduating with excitement about their next steps and future, K-12 students and their families are engaged in a busy month of activities and celebrations before transitioning to summer schedules, and spring is turning into summer.

TWG has a lot in the works at the start of this new year!

Lauren Baer: January update
Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe that it is 2023 — and yet I have had no trouble writing the correct date on documents since approximately Jan. 3 (possibly the earliest date I have achieved this in my lifetime).

Getting REEL about social!
It has been an amazing time at Together We Grow from a social media perspective. As trends continue to change, we are grateful for our partners, members, and active social participants that work with us to create new and fresh content critical to reach audiences and connect them to agriculture, food and the opportunities in this sector.
