BIG NEWS!
We’re beaming over here. BEAMIN’!
Our very own Kelly Clements, is the NEWEST board member of VBSR (Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility)!
VBSR is a statewide, nonprofit business association with a mission to leverage the power of business for positive social and environmental impact.
VBSR’s mission is, in turn Gordon’s mission as well! Positive social and environmental mindfulness, interwoven into all of our business practices.
“Here at GWD, we value the learning that comes from continuous improvement, human connection, and humor. ‘We been crafted quality shades here in Vermont since 1986. We repair, instead of replace, so less and less end up in landfills’. Ours is a company filled with a team creating and experiencing genuine connection daily. That is powerful, especially during these times of global upheaval. We are grateful to our clients, that have allowed us to be a part of something bigger than a business transaction- thankful for welcoming us into their homes and lives and perhaps even, hearts.” shares Kelly.
