Welcome to the New Year!
I am sitting in my new office as I write – it has a window! I know…little things. It makes me smile to write about it.
When we moved our offices into 1297 McDonough in 2016, we were immediately utilizing the entire space. We knew we would have to expand as our footprint grew and our work deepened. Quietly, we began to dream about what a new office could look like, and how a renewed space could allow us to serve our neighbors even better.
