During this virtual convening, we recognized and celebrated our nonprofits partners whose vital efforts helped save lives and support our neighbors hit hardest by the pandemic, our public and private partners who expanded these response efforts, and our generous community of givers for stepping up like never before to meet the unprecedented need. Together, we reflected on what we have learned and discussed what it will take to reconstruct a stronger, better Montgomery County where everyone truly has the opportunity to live, work, and thrive.
