Members of the CHW Team were welcomed into the Greater Gainesville Chamber of Commerce Leadership Gainesville Class 49 this summer. Leadership Gainesville is a 10-month program designed to give leaders of today the tools they need to grow their impact in the Greater Gainesville region.   

CHW’s Director of Surveying + Mapping, Kevin Smith (#TeamGold), and Engineering Senior Project Manager, Travis Hastay (#TeamGreen) are honored to work alongside the best leadership professionals in our communities; expanding their networks, leadership expertise, and tackling complex topics.  

   

Thank you UF IFAS for hosting the eye-opening poverty simulation designed to help participants begin to understand what it might be like to live in a typical low-income family trying to survive from month to month. The task of the “families” is to provide for basic necessities and shelter during the course of four 15-minute “weeks.”  Learn more about the poverty simulation at the IFAS Blog: Poverty Simulation in Action.

Congratulations Kevin and Travis – thank you for the commitments you make each day to gain exposure to current issues and developments affecting the Greater Gainesville community.
