Best Friends leadership will now be discussing how we might implement the winning ideas.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the innovators who participated. While only two innovators ultimately win the award, there were so many other insightful solutions that we are confident many will do great things in the future. Thank you all for helping make this crowdsourcing project a success.
We would like to thank our judges for supporting our efforts in this initiative. Specifically, we’d like to acknowledge Elizabeth Jensen, Scott Giacoppo, Kaylee Hawkins and Liz Finch for their contributions.
We would also like to thank all our supporters, partners, commenters and anyone else who in any way contributed to our community. Without you, we would not have had the innovator turnout that we did.
Warm regards,
Angela Embree
