To the friends I’ve gained along the way, the mentors who have supported my personal growth, the Board members and staff with whom I’ve gotten to collaborate – I can never express the full depth of my appreciation. As I take on the role of Director of the Massachusetts Access to Justice Commission, I am excited to carry on the work that is so close to my heart and ensure equal justice for everyone in the Commonwealth.
MA Appleseed’s brilliant staff and Board of Directors will continue to steward the organization’s success with fidelity and tenacity, and I am working closely with everyone to ensure a smooth transition. I have no doubt that the next Executive Director will take our small but mighty justice center to even greater heights.
In the meantime, I am pleased to announce that the Board of Directors has appointed Madeline Poage, MA Appleseed’s Director of Development and Communications, to the role of Acting Executive Director during this transitional period. A core member of the Appleseed team since 2017, Madeline is a collaborative leader and passionate about the power of community-led advocacy. Should you have any questions or want to get in touch, please don’t hesitate to contact Madeline at madeline@massappleseed.org.
Thank you for a wonderful and transformative eight years. I look forward to cheering on and supporting MA Appleseed as the organization fulfills its essential mission, and cannot wait to see all that is still to come.
In solidarity and gratitude,
Deb
