Greater Gallatin United Way (GGUW) recently hosted its inaugural Community Impact Luncheon, bringing together the GGUW community for a day of connection, collaboration, and insight into transformative initiatives led by GGUW's Community Impact Partners.
These dedicated organizations are joining forces to tackle crucial community issues such as mental health and well-being, basic needs, early learning, and youth success. The collective effort demonstrated the formidable strength that arises from unity, propelling the community towards a future marked by equity, vibrancy, and prosperity.
From GGUW, Kim Hall (CEO) and Ben Frentos (Director of Community Impact), delivered inspiring addresses, emphasizing the organization's steadfast commitment to constructing a more resilient and inclusive community. Their words resonated with the shared vision propelling GGUW and its partners towards a brighter future.
The event's highlight was the presence of guest speaker Jason Smith, whose journey from executive director at the American Red Cross to founder of Stillwater Strategy Partners serves as a beacon of visionary leadership. Jason's decision to diverge from traditional employment for a more impactful path underscores the spirit of change-makers prioritizing courage over conformity. Stillwater, a boutique consulting practice, supports non-profits and for-profits in building leadership capabilities, crafting compelling narratives, and securing transformative support for mission-driven work.
Looking ahead, GGUW's commitment to amplifying impact remains unwavering. In collaboration with partners and community members, GGUW is dedicated to ongoing efforts, ensuring a lasting and positive impact on the lives of neighbors. Together, we are positioned to create a Greater Gallatin region that is not only more equitable but also vibrant and thriving.
The inaugural Community Impact Luncheon stands as a testament to the potential for change when united in a vision for a better tomorrow.
