"If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more,
do more and become more, you are a leader."
~ John Quincy Adams
Hello Everyone!
Last week we said goodbye to our fearless leader, Executive Director Josh Abel. Josh began his time at the Clinic as a legal intern and then spent nine years with the Clinic as a staff attorney. Five of those years were served as Executive Director, and what an impact he has made on this organization in that role. Josh took the Clinic to new places, with intentional programming, holistic approaches to helping our clients and building friendships with our strategic partners in the community. Josh was an excellent and fun leader and he will be missed.
While Josh served nine years as an employee of the Clinic, Josh began his work as a volunteer. It was through his dedicated volunteer service as a legal intern that he started his role at the Clinic, a true testament to the power of volunteers and their relationship with this organization. Josh loves volunteers and has been a huge advocate for their involvement with the Clinic over the last five years. He knows the impact of volunteerism because he has been a volunteer himself, and will continue to serve in a volunteer capacity as a member of the Clinic's board.
Remember that each volunteer helps make this organization more effective in the community and we can't serve the needs of this community without your help. Please consider helping with the needs below and let me know if you have any questions.
