Day 3 #WomenSupportingWomen spotlight on @HTinWDC, no intro required for this leader who brings out the possibility in all of us. A woman with no fear of big ideas and high expectations for our potential. She called me the “fixer” once and it stuck. Forever grateful to HT!

NOW is the time to plan before #disaster strikes. Look at other communities - what they're doing well & how they work with HUD, FEMA & others. There is tremendous opportunity with #AmericanRescuePlan funds - Laura Hogshead COO @ReBuildNC_gov
