Welcome!

Please enjoy The Wright Group’s inaugural newsletter! In addition to the in-depth all-client updates you receive regarding City and State matters, we’ve decided to create an email newsletter every other month that will allow us to keep you updated on what the firm is up to, as well as highlight some of the work that you and our other clients are engaged in. We hope this fosters greater connectivity within the TWG community.

Welcome

Happy Women’s History Month! As a government relations firm with a majority female staff, all of us at TWG have been spending March in awe of the incredible women leaders we represent, the organizations that advocate on behalf of women and girls in New York City, and the female communities that we work with all of you to uplift. We asked four inspirational women who lead TWG client organizations to identify historical women they admire and to recognize their own leadership styles and accomplishments. You’ll find excerpts of those responses below, and we encourage you to follow TWG on LinkedIn to read more from each of them.

Welcome to the first TWG Newsletter of 2024! We are excited about what this year has in store for us. In today’s edition, you’ll find a NYTimes Arts Section cover page story about the Climate Museum, information on a Mental Health Roundtable TWG co-hosted with Senator Hoylman-Sigal, and more.

We would also like to acknowledge that today marks one year since John Wright’s passing. His life touched us in so many ways, and at times, it has been overwhelming to reflect on – let alone carry on – his legacy. As we look back on the last year, we are incredibly grateful for the support and understanding you have offered us. We hope that in turn, we have helped provide time and space for each of you to ruminate on and process this profound loss. The Wright Group is proud to bear John’s name, and we continue on with renewed purpose, underscoring the values each one of us shared with him. We are honored to work with all of you to achieve a better and more equitable life for those living in New York’s most underserved communities.

Many of John’s friends have found comfort in leaving reflections on the Memorial Page that TWG created – please feel free to visit if you’d like, whether to read entries or offer your own. Additionally, his memorial service was recorded, and the video can be found here. As each of you continues to grieve and reflect on the impact John had – on our own lives and on the communities and the sectors in which we operate – please know that we do so alongside you.

We are so grateful for all of the feedback we received from our inaugural client newsletter. We are always seeking out opportunities to highlight our incredible clients and their work, nurture our community and improve our sense of connection. This edition features TWG’s feature in a specialty print publication, National Black Theatre’s historic topping out ceremony, a Dia de Los Muertos event at Green-Wood Cemetery, and more!

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and The Wright Group is reflecting on the incredible programs and resources that our clients offer to those in need of mental health support. From increasing access to green space, to supporting the family and caregivers of those who suffer from mental illness, TWG clients are at the forefront, offering cutting-edge programs and services to New Yorkers.
