Reflections on 90 Years of Service
As part of The Foundation's 90th anniversary celebration this year, its board and former board members gathered on an October evening to reflect on how the institution has earned and maintained the community's confidence over this long period. Among the comments shared, four themes emerged: Trust: The Foundation's exercise of independent judgment in doing what it believes to be best for the community; Connection: the depth of The Foundation's personal relationships and the breadth of its work serving the whole community in all its diversity; Progress: The Foundation's work being grounded in a compelling and positive vision of the community's future progress; and Legacy: the thousands of individuals and families who have created permanent legacies that are meaningful to them and that contribute to the overall progress of the community.
