So Good Lancaster

Hourglass Keeping Lancaster Informed [NPS]

So Good Media Season 1 Episode 17

For this So Good Lancaster Nonprofit Spotlight, we’re featuring Hourglass, a nonprofit communications organization created here in Lancaster nearly 30 years ago. The primary goal of Hourglass is to protect Lancaster County's unique character and quality of life while ensuring that future growth is socially, economically, and environmentally responsible. The organization's mission is executed by providing the community with reliable, fact-based, nonpartisan information through First Friday Forums, a monthly speaker series held at the Ware Center, and through a bi-weekly newsletter called Keeping Lancaster Current. It was a pleasure to chat with Hourglass’s Executive Director, Lea Zikmund, to learn more about the experience she is bringing to the organization, the history of Hourglass, and what the future holds.
