SSDN Celebrates New Growth in 2021

As we steadily navigate through the challenges brought our way in 2020, we want to share our deep gratitude for our members’ passion, expertise, and leadership in recovering our Southeast communities after COVID-19.

Thank you to our 2020 Steering Committee for the invaluable guidance they have provided over the last year.
