Goodbye Arlene
Arlene left us on June 1st to take a job as Executive Director of Mercy Outreach Center, a clinic for people with no health insurance. It’s a dream job for her that she’d wanted for a long time. I’m going to miss her. She was a good mentor to me. Fortunately, Arlene will still be a member of our Public Policy Committee. Now, I know that I have to step up! Best wishes in your new job, Arlene!
Meanwhile, we have hired a new Systems Advocate. Terri Lincoln is from Ohio, and has done some advocacy work. She is a young woman who uses a wheelchair due to a spinal cord injury. She and her fiance were moving to the Rochester area anyway, as he will be teaching at SUNY Brockport. I think that Terri will do well with us.
