SEPTEMBER NEWS ✨ In June, our Executive Director, Amanda Duffy, stepped down from her post to focus on her family before eventually returning to full-time employment. Duffy joined us in November 2023, and over the past few years, she has expanded our community connections with district leaders and schools, and fiercely advocated for our students. We appreciate Amanda Duffy for her dedication, passion, and leadership. Please join us in thanking her and wishing all the best.
In the interim, we are thrilled to reintroduce a very familiar face to the Foundation staff. Immediate Past President Amanda DePhillips has agreed to step in as our Executive Director while we conduct a search for a permanent leader.
Amanda’s history with the Foundation runs deep. She served as Board President from July 2024 to June 2026 and previously spent almost 10 years as our Director of Communications, managing the marketing, communications, and event planning. Her extensive experience ensures the Foundation will keep moving our mission forward smoothly without missing a beat. Please join us in welcoming her as our Interim Executive Director.
