Farewell to our retiring Director, Michelle Claud-Clemente

Recently our organization came together to celebrate the remarkable career of our retiring director Michelle Claud-Clemente, whose dedication and vision have led us to countless successes. Staff, volunteers, and community partners joined us to honor Michelle’s profound impact on our mission and the lives she has touched throughout her years of service.

City Manager Elaine Lister was among those commemorating Michelle's legacy. In a heartfelt speech, Elaine praised Michelle’s steadfast commitment to our cause, her inspiring leadership, and her genuine compassion. To recognize these incredible achievements, Elaine presented Michelle with an award plaque on behalf of the entire community—a token of our deep gratitude.

Michelle's leadership has left an indelible mark, and while we will miss her dearly, her legacy of compassion and service will continue to inspire us for years to come.  Thank you, Michelle, for everything—you will always be a cherished part of our family.
