Recently we asked our Members for resources to help support others who have recently been impacted by job loss, loss of business, or other fallout from the changes felt across the region. And you answered. Resoundingly. See below for a selection of what we received, and of course, if you have any other ways to meet the moment, please reach out to the LGW team at info@lgwdc.org.

  • Andrew Flagel’s (’23) organization, The Consortium of Universities of the Washington Metropolitan Area, is working with their member institutions to help our region respond to the projected shifts in the federal workforce sector. Follow this link to see how they’re partnering in support with dedicated websites, upcoming career transition events, print and online resources, education financial support, featured academic programs for the community, as well as career and support services for their own students and alumni.
  • Julie Kantor’s (’00) company, Twomentor, is offering to run a mentor-buddy initiative to help members impacted/displaced by recent changes that might need support and/or two virtual flash mentoring sessions on resiliency and leadership.
