Executive Director's Column: "If you want to go far, go together."
There is an African proverb that says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. However, if you want to go far, go together.” Well, if this year has shown us anything, it has shown us the power of unity and community. 2024 has seen LISC Jacksonville grow its supporter base by having more individual donors than any other LISC market in the entire country. This says something about the work we are collectively doing that more people and organizations are making themselves a part of the LISC Jacksonville community. For that, our Board and staff are especially grateful for everyone who has joined us and our partners on this journey.
