Staff members spent time in April planning and preparing for a mix of hybrid events (in-person and virtual) with AgrAbility PA’s key partners and stakeholders. It is a hopeful time to see some returning events and interactions occurring within the health and safety guidelines set by the COVID-19 pandemic.
