We're excited to be a part of this creative solution to some of Syracuse's lead issues. HHQ is especially going to enjoy using "Lead-Free BnB" in all future correspondences!
Let's talk about collaboration and "the long game". After two weeks on the job, I approached Debra Lewis with an idea I'd been sitting on. "What if we had a 'lead-free BnB' for families faced with lead poisoning?" Ten minutes later, I was sitting at my desk reading an extremely well-thought-out and planned proposal. Deb had the same idea. Fast forward, almost two years later, with the unwavering support of the County Executive's Office and help from our partners at Home HeadQuarter's Inc., and the City of Syracuse, we are happy to share that this idea is coming to fruition. For anyone sitting on an idea, feeling timid to share about it, or just feeling frustrated by how long execution can take... hang in there, speak up, and collaborate! Good things truly do take time. More details to come!
