Thank you and farewell, Rebecca Stephens!

Rebecca has played an instrumental role in advancing our organization during her time as Vice Chair. As a new nonprofit, we were still defining who we are and what we stand for, and Rebecca’s leadership helped guide us through that critical period with clarity and purpose.

Her thoughtful approach and steady commitment were essential in shaping and refining our mission. She brought insight, focus, and a collaborative spirit that ensured our work remained grounded in meaningful impact. Thanks to her contributions, we now move forward with a stronger foundation and a clearer sense of direction.

We are deeply grateful for Rebecca’s service, dedication, and leadership. Her influence will continue to be felt in the work we do and the mission we carry forward.
