2nd Place | January 2021-March 2021
Feedback from Arbor Day Foundation:
“Love the concise 3-pillar framework and how you pulled in outside research and sources of validation. Excellent job incorporating our core values and new approaches like embracing tech. Good outline of legal considerations. Your statement about how social fragmentation can come from failing to be inclusive of a hybrid workforce really struck me — this is the next big hurdle on the horizon for us, and I think your recognition of the continued importance of social interaction to wellness has been and will continue to be critical to health and inclusivity.”
