In these times of sweeping social and environmental change, America feels more divided than ever.
For our fall conference, we are highlighting the efforts of individuals and organizations that are working to reunite our fractured communities and move us toward a resilient and sustainable future. “THRIVING TOGETHER: Strengthening Community in a Time of Rapid Change” will feature conversations with neighbors and local changemakers sharing stories of how places and communities throughout our region are building resilience and bringing people together.
Here are some of the extraordinary people who will share details of the wide-ranging projects that are connecting people in positive and joyful ways to deliver important services and create welcoming places and hopeful visions for an inclusive and peaceful future:
- Corey J. Allen, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Newburgh
- Becky Collins Brooks, Hilltop Farm
- Erica Brown, Radio Kingston
- Joe Concra and Lindsey Wolkowicz, O+ Festival
- Elka Gotfryd, Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress
- Chris Hewitt, Tilda’s Kitchen & Market
- Phoenix Kawamoto, Town of New Paltz
- Brian Mahoney, Chronogram
- Duane Martinez, Scenic Hudson
- Colleen McMurray, Pine Hill Community Center
- Victoria Messner, Coalition of Forward-Facing Ellenville
- Rebekkah Smith Aldrich, Mid-Hudson Library System
We hope you and members of your community will come, learn and begin new conversations with others working to draw people out of social isolation and strengthen the social fabric of our communities.
