Covid-19 disrupted plans and services for non-profit organizations across the country. Many programs had to be re-conceived and significant changes were made under pressure. With these unprecedented circumstances, some significant lessons were learned and in some cases, opportunities occurred. What creative problem solving arose for leaders and teams and what new community partnerships emerged?
In the Fall Forward DBD Podcast series, Jon Simons interviews leaders about how they were able to innovate and serve their community in challenging times.
In part one, DBD Group's Jon Simons interviews Justin Ihne, CEO of YMCA Plattsburgh in New York.
Justin shares insights into how he and his team were able to choose "creation" over "crisis", pivot, and deliver exceptional service to their community.
