CONSERVANCY COMMONS

Tuesday, 2-3 pm
In light of current events, President & CEO Chris Lehnertz is hosting a virtual town hall for staff. This is completely optional. Anyone who wishes to join is welcome. This will be an opportunity for connection, to share our grief and to honestly discuss how we can be more accountable in our work ahead.

The DEI Committee invites staff who identify as people of color to come together and honor the lives of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd and many others from the African American community who have been victims of an unjust society. We will discuss ways to contribute and show up during this pandemic. We hope you will join us in this circle of compassion and healing.
