PRESENTATION
Presentation on Governor Sununu’s Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative
President Wilshire
Tonight we have a presentation on Governor Sununu’s Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative and | believe the
presenter this evening is Karen Morton-Clark, RFW Advisor. Ms. Clark.
Karen Morton-Clark
Thank you very much and actually I'll you know why | am on Zoom why I had so hoped to be there in person is
because | had a terrible fall over the weekend and it resulted in this cast. So it was a little inconvenient for me to get
there but I’m thrilled and hope to be here and present a little bit more about the Recovery Friendly Workplace Initiative
and also to provide an official designation at the end of this short presentation tonight.
I'd also like to give a special shout out to Cheryl Lindner and Donna Graham who have really accommodated me to
make this presentation virtually tonight and | want to just thank them for being awesome. So with that Mayor
Donchess, distinguished Aldermen, and Alderwoman, valued city employees, and valued citizens of Nashua, | will go
ahead and share my screen and begin the presentation. If at any time you're unable to hear me or | do have one
short video to share, please let me know that via chat because | should be able to see that or alert me somehow but |
think we tested it so we should be good.
