Statement of the Board of Directors of CommonWealth Kitchen September 3, 2025
CommonWealth Kitchen has built a strong reputation over many years for driving meaningful opportunity and consistent impact. CWK faced major headwinds during the pandemic and in its aftermath, requiring the organization to pause core services to focus on emergency response for nearly two years. CWK then had to relaunch all of its programming within a dramatically changed market and funding reality.
Like other fast-growing organizations navigating these unpredictable times, CWK has faced challenges, and worked hard to manage through them with integrity and commitment to our belief in the power of inclusive entrepreneurship and to continuing to provide the resources for community businesses to start, grow and succeed. We appreciate and support Jen and the leadership team and their efforts and accomplishments.
Importantly, the Board will ensure that stakeholder concerns raised are addressed and that the right actions are taken to strengthen our culture and our operations so CWK can continue to fulfill its important mission.
We are grateful to all of you for your support and belief in CWK’s important work. We look forward to CWK continuing the innovative and high impact work that has been the hallmark of this organization.
