“When taking on the responsibility as a board and executive leadership team to lead this organization, we asked what our mission demands of us in this moment. It’s hard to challenge mission when you don’t have great organizational alignment. BWF had the right experts who designed a shared vision of what our success could look like and then helped us get there. Our strategic planning work in 2021 came about because we were courageous in 2020 and did that important foundational work.”
