You requested, we listened
In Could 2025, we held the first-ever House Assistant Group Day. It was a labor of affection of mine, and its success can’t be overstated. I printed a weblog about this milestone a month after the day was held, detailing our learnings from coordinating a worldwide occasion. One of many clearest takeaways was that organizers wanted extra lead time to plan and promote their native occasions – and that’s precisely why I’m publishing this weblog at this time 😌

A palette for the folks
The extra refined change this 12 months is that I’ve requested our very proficient graphic designers to replace the occasion’s shade palette to extra broadly signify the Open House Basis. We determined to work with the identical shade palette we use throughout our web sites for one of many basis’s three core ideas: sustainability. I selected this as a result of the neighborhood ✨ sustains ✨ us on the basis (sure, I believe I’m very humorous 🤭).
