Zooming through 2021

At risk of sounding trite, 2021 was an unprecedented year. We grew our team, worked with some truly incredible clients and partners on topics ranging from community development to electric vehicle infrastructure to public housing, and led over 25,000 minutes of Zoom meetings. We also engaged with our community in new ways, reaching over 18,000 members of the public through outreach initiatives for our clients and sharing our ideas and insights through published articlesreports, and conferences, such as Hindsight and NYATEP‘s Fall Conference. We got vaccinated, celebrated milestones together, and learned a lot. If you told us that this was what 2021 was going to look like, we might not have believed you.

We’re grateful to have had you by our side throughout it all. We’re looking forward to big things in 2022, so stay tuned!
