Santosuosso asks whether provider access to NGBV staff will remain
Santosuosso asks if CBOs and providers will have the same access to NGBV staff amid confusion about the merger. Delany-Brumsey says staff from frontline to leadership continue working with partners and are an additional point of access.
And then for providers and for CBOs, again, who might be concerned that the merger would lead to sort of confusion about who to reach out to or
that would lead to a lack of access to the NGBV staff and the support that they've provided in the past.
Can you confirm that they will have just as easy of a right of access to the office as they've had in the past?
Absolutely.
All of our staff from the front line to leadership continues to
work directly with their partners.
I would encourage everyone to continue to reach out to the people that they have been working with.
They are also welcome to reach out to myself should they like.
We're just an additional point of access.
We work extremely closely with each other.
We sit 20
two feet from each other.
We're operating and continuing to build to a real office.
And so absolutely, we want to be sure everyone that they will have the access.
And to the earlier point, if there are any issues with access that are being raised, please let us know.
We'd love to address.
