Moving memorial for the 320+ individuals experiencing homelessness who died on the streets of NYC during 2023. Thank you @CFHNYC and Urban Pathways for organizing and the opportunity to serve a meal for the 200+ individuals that attended.

Excellent discussion led by one of my Prof Sandel, on "The Tyranny of Merit.." An alternative way of thinking about success—more attentive to the role of luck, more conducive to an ethic of humility and solidarity, and more affirming of dignity of work - a hopeful vision.

Wonderful dinner last night with the @CFHNYC management team and the Board Strategic Planning Committee developing the new strategic plan for CFH with outstanding pro bono support from @McKinsey & Company.

Great day at the US Capitol yesterday, meeting with Senate and House members to discuss how community banks (CDFIs) such as @BeneficialState help local communities. Highlight was meeting with Majority Leader Chuck Schumer at his office in the Capitol building.

Thanks @CDBankers

We're beginning our recognition of Women's History Month with a tribute to our visionary founder, Susan Neibacher. Her work in the early days of CFH shaped not only the way we serve folks experiencing homelessness, but the way countless other organizations do as well.
