Monthly Update from the Executive Director
Dr. Katharine Robershaw
Spring is officially here, bringing with it a season of renewal, awareness, and appreciation! March was a fantastic month for our team, thanks to the Engaged Committee’s thoughtful planning of our visit to the Art Room. We spent an afternoon painting ceramics, enjoying each other’s company, and sharing plenty of laughs. It wasn’t a contest, but if it had been, I can confidently say I would NOT have taken home the prize! More importantly, it was a wonderful reminder of the importance of creativity, relaxation, and connection in our busy lives.
April is Autism Awareness Month, a time to celebrate the strengths, talents, and contributions of individuals with autism while also recognizing the ongoing work needed to foster inclusion and understanding. At our organization, we are committed to advocating for those we serve and ensuring they have access to the resources and support they need to thrive. I encourage everyone to take a moment this month to learn more, engage in conversations, and promote acceptance in our communities.
April also brings National Earth Day on the 22nd, an opportunity to reflect on how we can be better stewards of the environment. Small actions, whether it's reducing waste, conserving energy, or supporting local sustainability efforts, can have a meaningful impact. Let’s take this as a reminder that the work we do extends beyond our offices and into the world around us.
Wishing you all a wonderful April filled with growth, awareness, and appreciation for the beauty of the season. Thank you for all that you do!
