One of the most rewarding aspects of our community engagement work is the opportunity to partner with many non-profit organizations and support innovative programs that help advance the diverse communities we serve. In May 2020, we launched our Verizon Community Partnerships Initiative to celebrate community organizations supported by Verizon and highlight their important work.
Today, we feature our conversation with Liz Crammond, Executive Director for Bright Minds Foundation, based in Ellicott City, Maryland.
Below we share an inspiring conversation with Liz about Bright Minds’ important mission and how its programs continue to support the Howard County community.
