One year ago, I launched KMC Social Impact Strategies with a vision: to provide accessible, high-quality strategic counsel to mission-driven organizations working tirelessly to create a better world. I knew then, as I know now, that nonprofits, foundations, and public agencies deserve bold, expert communication support that meets their realities: limited time and resources, complex missions, and high stakes. Today, I’m taking a moment to reflect on what we’ve built in just 12 months. And most importantly, to express our gratitude.

And focus, the golden currency of remote work, becomes something we have to fight for.
