Message from Hadley Morrow, Director of Equity & Engagement - April 17, 2020
BHT is grateful to everyone who took time to attend one of our listening sessions and share with us how their new day-to-day is looking. Your time is helping inform BHT’s exploration of how we can best be of support in this time. If you did not get to attend a listening session, you are welcome to reach out to any BHT staff to request a check-in. We are posting these notes so that you can all see a record of what partners shared, and follow up with requests or opportunities to support one another. We’re all in this together! (While staying at home, far away from one another...)
