SOME CONCLUDING THOUGHTS

Challenge: Resiliency, Again

• Virginia needs us as much now as it did when we were created! (Ed Jones quote).

• Be Bold, Loud, Proud, use Sharp Elbows, Be Visible, Self-Promote. No fear. Tell YOUR story. Stretch yourself. Make the invisible, visible. (Dr. Sands and Dr. Abdullah quotes)

• Having the most phones is helpful. (Brad Jarvis quote)

• Diversity, Equality and Inclusion

• More Gas, Less Brake

• Local Programs!

• Communicate, Communicate, Communicate. With clients and FUNDERS and each other.

• Only through challenge and adversity do we become better. Do not lose hope, or heart. We are valuable to our communities, and we have, and will, continue to prove that together.
