New Website, New Year, Check It Out
For many of us around the world, January 1st marks a new year bringing with it seeds of new beginnings, hope for a more peaceful world, and a palpable sense of uncertainty about what is yet to emerge. Like all transitions, it is a time to tell stories, to appreciate the best of the past and to foreshadow what is to come.
With this in mind, we welcome you to the new Corporation for Positive Change website. You will find it full of stories about who we are and what we do, along with case studies, articles and videos highlighting our work.
Many people have helped bring this website to life. Special thanks go to our clients who generously permit us to tell their stories; to John Farr who masterfully guided us in digital doings for over a decade; and to the awesome team at Rivers Agency in Chapel Hill, North Carolina who are now bringing us to the world electronically.
We look forward to a year of good work, right relationships and many opportunities to apply our strengths in service of a better world. We wish you the same.
