The Needham Resilience Network is a whole-of-society representation of Needham. Network Fellows represent all major stakeholder groups in town, be they civic, identity-based, community, service, school, healthcare, business, or faith-based. The goals of the Network include building understanding across diverse local groups and perspectives and developing a cohesive approach to current challenges in our Needham community such as a documented rise in identity-based hate, unaddressed community divisions, and the need to bolster our shared local identity and values.

 

The Network launched in March 2022. It is housed at NDI, endorsed by the town, and under the co-leadership of Drs. Nichole Argo and Beth Pinals.
