The year began in the spirit of resiliency and renewal. By boosting early education, building community through arts programs, addressing food insecurity and pressing for affordable housing, our region was transformed into a better place.

Our region is fortunate to exist in the glow of Chuck and Margie’s example. Their spirit of hard work, compassion and excellence continues to propel us forward. In 2022, we saw their example shine in each nonprofit partner, in the care with which our leaders approached their work, in the moments of uplift when a problem was solved.
