Building trust is at the heart of our work. This summer, when Ms. Gertha was hesitant to be filmed, we set aside the cameras and took time to listen. We explained her options and respected her concerns. By focusing on her comfort and being transparent and empathetic, we built trust, and helped Enterprise Community Partners tell the story of Gulf Coast Housing Partnership, Inc.'s Health + Housing innovation through the voices of real residents whose lives are being changed for the better by their new homes at the Pearl.

Value: We Collaborate. #ValueinAction: For the 74th National Book Awards program video, fostering open dialogue with National Book Foundation, Presenter of the National Book Awards helped us work together to identify the voices and community filming opportunities that truly reflected their mission and celebrated the intrinsic joy of reading.

Value: We find solutions, not problems. #ValueInAction: We've produced The Nation Fund for Independent Journalism's Student Journalism Conference #videos for nearly a decade, every year implementing new #production solutions to meet The Nation's evolving needs: first filming in-person, pivoting to fully online during the pandemic, and now as a hybrid event. It was so great to return to the conference's pre-pandemic home at The New School earlier this year, #livestreaming to connect in-person and remote student journalists with top writers and editors.
