This brings us to the Community Awards, announced during the xChange 2017 gala. With these awards, we recognized the work that individuals and groups have done that displayed characteristics of our organization\u2019s key values. See here for our previously announced winners, for the &#8220;Dream Big and Work Hard&#8221; and &#8220;Address Root Causes for Impact&#8221; awards. Asking Tough Questions Having a strong critical voice is one of the cornerstones of our organization. It requires a firm understanding of the systems an individual works in, and demonstrates their passion and desire to see it improved. \u201cAlways in a diplomatic tone, and never with the aim of proving a point, Gordon asks tough questions to shed light on variables not taken into account, to test a too-easily accepted hypothesis, to understand a controversial decision or to give a voice to a disadvantaged party. His relentless curiosity, empathy for others and commitment to excellence have undoubtedly forced him to go through many difficult conversations. But, by not shying away from tough questions, he has led those around him with to become better decision-makers and to never judge too hastily. Thank you, Gordon!\u201d &#8211; Elena Haba,Long-Term Fellow, Strategy and Investment \u00a0team Rather than being profiled,\u00a0Gordon chose to represent his team more broadly\u2014what a humble guy!
