A NOTE FROM OUR CEO, Birgitta S. Damon
The 2024 election is behind us. This morning I went to my happy place, a run with a view of the ocean. The air was warm, the sunrise was beautiful. While I feel the uncertainty, I am choosing hope.
Please take care of yourselves, this is real life. Go slowly. Actionable agenda items include; making a meal your family loves, getting fresh air, and going to bed early.
I wish I could make you promises for the future of our programs, but I can't.
What I can do is outline what is real.
✔We are a community of doers, we care for and about each other, that won't change.
✔We offer life changing services to the most vulnerable in our community, we will continue.
✔When the chips are down, we rally. I think back to the COVID days and I beam at what we accomplished. We are battle tested.
Head Start and Community Action has had bipartisan support for 60 years. Our contribution to the greater good is proven.
Our collective voice is our super power, if you are affiliated with LEO as staff, partners, families, clients, or donors, you are our community and together we are tribe! We have your backs, and look forward to you having ours.
I can't say it any better than the Executive Director of the National Head Start Association, Yasmina Vinci, "Now it's ok if you're not feeling quite as hopeful as I am, take some time to feel what you are feeling, and then get ready for the journey forward. No matter what happens, we have work to do and the children (and our clients) need us to be at our best."
