During this time of isolation I had a chance to reflect on the value of community in my life and how to continue to build connections without the benefit of in-person interactions. Open Rivers’ business model is built on the idea of connecting communities, with communities defined quite broadly and inclusively. By viewing communities this way, the walls between “work and life” alter with connections to others evolve and flow over time. This is even more important as we face the fact that we are lonelier and more isolated than we have ever been, which leads to numerous societal issues.
