Broadmead

🌳 On Saturday, May 10, volunteers from the Gunpowder Valley Conservancy (GVC) and Broadmeaders—about 40 in all, shown in the photo above—gathered to plant 165 trees on Broadmead’s property along Western Run. The Conservancy donated the saplings along with protection sleeves, which will keep the trees safe from deer browsing.

The goal of the plantings is to replace an aging tree canopy, mitigate flooding, improve water quality going into Western Run and the greater Gunpowder Valley watershed, and improve the overall environmental health and beauty of Broadmead’s campus, according to Gina Mathias, Broadmead’s VP of Sustainability.

GVC will monitor the trees periodically. They report that they typically experience more than an 80% survival rate for trees planted as part of their projects. Broadmeaders will soon be able to enjoy observing the growth of the new trees, including persimmons, red maples, flowering dogwood, American plum, pin oak, willow oak, cottonwood, black cherry, black willow, silky dogwood, swamp white oak, and elderberry.

Congratulations to Team Member of the Month, Broadmead Technology Coordinator, Red Howard!

⭐ Why Honored: Red supports the technical needs of every resident and department at Broadmead. They are the definition of a team player by managing their duties as Technology Coordinator and fulfilling additional needs of every person at Broadmead. Red is knowledgeable, caring, modest and a huge asset to the Broadmead team.

⭐ Current Position: Technology Coordinator - Facilities

⭐ Length of Service at Broadmead: 2 years, 3 months

⭐ Peers Say: “Red is positive and a self-starter. Noticing details that others may not, Red always puts the residents and other team members first. Red exemplifies integrity and community in their work and life by being a hard worker and caring person every moment they are at Broadmead."

⭐ Residents Say: "Red’s scheduled visits to address IT dilemmas often provide benefits that extend beyond the resident’s stated needs. They demonstrate kindness, concern and patience while actively listening to residents’ often emotionally laden experiences and detailed queries. A keen observer of the world around them, Red is both understanding and appreciative of the individual strengths and needs of those seeking their assistance. They carefully formulate and provide feedback that is practical and can be independently utilized. If they notice something amiss in a residents’ home, unrelated to the purpose of the visit, they consider that their responsibility, too. As an example, Red removed a small hornet’s nest that was hanging, undisturbed, from the gutter of one resident’s outside shed!"

⭐ Red Says: "I am honored to be the Broadmead employee of the month for May! Broadmead continues to hold the number one spot for the best job I have ever had. Thank you all!"

Thank you, Red, for your dedication to the Broadmead community!

Broadmead’s Trans Grand Group recently hosted a guest speaker who delivered a rich, multidimensional talk on LGBTQ+ experiences—particularly focusing on the intersections of gender identity, aging, and inclusion.

The presentation, featuring speaker Yani Robinson, was both illuminating and expansive, offering language, context, and personal stories that helped bridge generational perspectives.

Several attendees commented afterward on how the conversation gave them new ways to think about gender and how it evolves across the lifespan.
