Neighboring Concepts

Neighboring Concepts wishes you and yours a joyous holiday season ✨

This time of year invites us to slow down, gather, and reflect on what truly matters. As we near the close of another year, we’re deeply grateful for the communities we serve, the partners we collaborate with, and the trust that makes this work possible.

At our annual holiday gathering, we took a moment to reflect on the people and shared values behind our work, celebrating our inaugural internal Monarch Storytelling Awards, which honor the everyday efforts that help build stronger, more connected communities.

Thank you to for hosting, and congratulations to this year’s recipients:

Mary Groff
Garrett Buell
Gordon Douglas
Brynn DeBrabant
Denver Sells

As we head into our 30th year, we look forward to celebrating the people, stories, and communities that have shaped our work.. and those still to come.
