Gaps and Opportunities

SMHA President Lorna Bourg identified three major gaps and opportunities facing our country when she spoke at the New York Regional Association of Grantmakers Conference in New York, July 12, 2006 and at the Local Initiatives Support Corporation's annual conference at the Ronald Reagan International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. in early June.

Bourg observed that the gaps and opportunities only became more evident and urgent when Hurricanes Rita and Katrina ravaged the Gulf Coast in the fall of 2006.
