Economic Recovery & Resilience consultants helping communities respond & adapt to, prepare for & recover from economic disruptions and disasters

[Kirsten McGregor @KiaOraKirsten]

I've been posting more on AI for my business @sagaxassociates and how I've been embracing it to allow more time to focus on client relationships and deep research. But I realized, many new connections thought I was an AI consultant- and I don't consider myself that. The foundation of my business is cross sector work I do to support economic resilience. This isn't a buzzword that began during the pandemic. This term was being defined and refined before Hurricane Sandy in 2012. I created this graphic to illustrate that there are fundamental sectors that intersect to support or impact economic resilience. However, without the foundation of economic resilience, the other sectors are more vulnerable to break.

The Grant Assistance Program (GAP) is a state-funded initiative that provides free technical grant assistance to local governments for infrastructure initiatives and other grant opportunities. Outreach is especially focused on local governments that typically lack the resources to compete for large-scale infrastructure funding opportunities.

@SagaxAssociates developed the curriculum for live virtual grant training courses for municipalities throughout the State of Delaware. The courses focused on Notice of Funding Opportunities, data for need, application budgets, local/cost share/match and much more. I so enjoyed working on this project with the @UDBidenSchool!

#DYK @sagaxassociates is a women-owned small business, and driven by a team of women? Meet our three interns from @saintmarys. All 3 major in Economics, a typically male-dominated field, and are heavily involved in related activities like the economics society on campus. In honor of Women's History Month, I'm celebrating all the incredible female minds who make up Sagax and who impact this industry. Empowered women, empower women! #WomensHistoryMonth #economicrecovery

Glad to be working w/@KiaOraKirsten and her @sagaxassociates team on @DelawareIPA's Grant Assistance Program. Her quote sums up the needs re: grants assistance (+disaster recovery):
“It’s very confusing for local governments.”

@KiaOraKirsten quotes in @USATODAY on @USGAO report about federal approach to disaster recovery. #disasters #federalfunding

[Dinah Voyles Pulver @DinahVP]

The @USGAO talked with officials in five states and 14 local governments about recovery from 9 disasters, including hurricanes, wildfires & flooding. All agreed they had experienced challenges in navigating the maze of federal recovery programs.
