Announcement
The next session of IRC Insights will take place on Tuesday, March 11th at 5:30PM over Zoom. If you are not familiar with IRC Insights, it is a chance to learn more about both the IRC as well as some of our community partners. Each month, we have a special guest who fills us in on their work. We can guarantee that you will always learn something new! In the past, we have highlighted programs such as the impactful work of the Client Voice Initiative, created to amplify the voices and power of newcomers by centering their experience to inform best practices.
On March 11th, we are thrilled to feature Justin Gandy, the new Executive Director of the IRC in Virginia! Justin has been with the IRC for many years, having previously served as the Deputy Director of the Richmond office as well as time in IRC offices in Charlottesville and Dallas. Throughout his journey with the IRC, Justin has demonstrated a strong commitment to addressing the needs of refugees and immigrants, always with a focus on innovative, community-led solutions. During the session, Justin will share his experience on his transition to the Executive Director role and his vision for the future. He will also provide an update on the IRC in Virginia’s on-going work and how we are navigating current events. These changes present new opportunities for collaboration and growth. Joining us on Tuesday, March 11th will give you a chance to learn how we can all work together to make a positive impact in our communities moving forward.
