Dear clients and
friends of KHD,
Out of an abundance of caution and care for our
colleagues and their families, we have decided to
work remotely. Our decision to work remotely will
allow everyone at KHD to work from the safety of
their homes while avoiding the daily two way commute.
Our primary concern is for the health and safety of
our employees and our ability to effectively service
and advise our clients during this difficult time.
We will continue to monitor guidance and rely on
recommendations from the Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention and local
health officials to inform our decisions.
