In this clip, Liz Wallen, the founder of Project LIA, a program to help women who have recently been released from prison, discusses a personal moment of joy when one of her program's past participants returned to the workplace. She explains how this is atypical for any other business, but because of the deep roots with EoC values around building relationships, the participant continued to feel connected to Project Leah long after she was done with her role there.
