On September 14th Higher Ground honored six outstanding outgoing board members for their dedication and service including:
- founder Hubie Jones
- Charlotte Golar Richie
- Randall Davis
- Arthur Choo
- Shirley Carrington
- and Rona Kiley.
One memorable quote from the event was shared by Hubie Jones who stated, “Boston is on the cusp of becoming a great city, but it will not become a great city unless the human resources infrastructure is solid, sustainable, and supported. Great buildings will not build a great city. The built- environment is absolutely important, but you also have to have a human infrastructure that works directly in the interest of people. Particularly in the neighborhoods we care about.”
