What can we take from 2021?

The last two years have had no shortage of challenges, and our systems continued to be tested as this one comes to a close. But as any entrepreneur will tell you, out of those hard moments can also come opportunity to make strides toward lasting change going forward. You can learn a lot from what you didn't plan for, and find new approaches along the way. For Technical.ly’s December editorial theme, Lessons on Resilience, I’m asking folks in our community what they see for the city:

 

  • What's the biggest learning or opportunity to emerge from the last two years that will help Baltimore move forward in the future?

 

Email me your thoughts at baltimore@technical.ly, and we might use your response in a story.
