After seven years of dedicated service on our Board of Directors, we extend our deepest thanks to Cathy Martin as she concludes her term. Cathy has been an invaluable leader and volunteer, contributing not only at the Board level but also across numerous Foundation initiatives. Her thoughtful guidance, steady presence, and passion for our mission have left a lasting mark—and we are so grateful. While we will miss her voice at the Board table, we are thrilled that Cathy will continue to lend her talents through the Stringam Law Christmas Tree Festival committee.
