[Concordia @ConcordiaSummit]

Overnight between March 31 and April 1, 2023, America’s heartland was struck by over 130 confirmed tornadoes, devastating an area from Nebraska to Ohio and, further south, the area around Little Rock, Arkansas. A year earlier, Linsley Kinkade of @winrockintl and Erica Tavares of @IMC_Worldwide, both Concordia Global Patron Members, met at Concordia’s first-ever United States Summit to discuss how their two organizations might work together. This is the story of how Concordia fostered a connection that brought two humanitarian organizations together to respond to an emergency in Winrock’s own backyard https://t.co/4sy5gPmJNP
