Our virtual Force for the Future Luncheon left us feeling energized, grateful and aware of how much important work lies ahead. Our panel of speakers shared their passion, vision, expertise and collaborative spirit. They challenged us to look hard at the ways we need to evolve in our approach as this work continues. They inspired us to keep going!

About the Force for the Future Luncheon: The Family Place presented our virtual luncheon on April 20, 2021, from 12:00 – 1:15 PM. Titled “Better Together: The Positive Impact of Community Partnerships,” the lunchtime speaker panel discussed how collaborations between pediatric practices with Family Resource Centers and Parent Child Centers, like The Family Place, improve outcomes for young children and their families. While our traditional in-person luncheon wasn’t possible this year due to COVID-19 restrictions, we hope to gather together in person next year!
Force for the Future was made possible with generous support from The Aloha Foundation; Ledyard National Bank; Laurel Mackin and Tim Briglin; McSoley McCoy & Co.; Snyder, Cahoon & Co.; The Lyme Timber Company; Archer Dental; Banwell Architects; and Hershenson, Carter, Scott and McGee, P.C.
