2021. Whew! It’s been a year. You’ll see evidence of some of my favorite Together We Grow highlights further below in this newsletter, but in the meantime here are a few of my favorites.
This past year we focused largely on building ecosystems that drive inclusion, such as our communications infrastructure. We’ve launched an industry-wide training program, an industry pledge, and convened our members in collective action. We’ve shared best practices in our Food for Thought Series, brought in innovators from across our sector, and hosted an invigorating annual meeting.
There are some numbers that we’re proud of: We’ve doubled the size of our team (okay…from one to two!), tripled the size of our board, and grown our social media following by factors with ever expanding zeros.
But, the best part of all of this work is getting to do it with you. Thank you for your energy, passion, time, and funding. Thank you for all that you give to help Together We Grow, grow.
We cannot wait for 2022, when we will begin to execute on direct recruitment infrastructure to improve the diversity of our industry. And we cannot wait to do it with all of you!
