Welcome to the August edition of Focus on Fellows. We invite all Fellows to submit information (whether about themselves or other Fellows) about awards, news, job changes, and/or recent publications. Member highlights will be distributed to all Fellows through email and social media. Please email focus@amercol.org and include a brief description of the items you would like considered for inclusion in our announcements. Thank you.

Citizens Committee for New York City's mission is to help New Yorkers - especially those in low-income areas - come together and improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods.
