Today we wish Pat Campbell a farewell as she retires after over 16 years with the Foundation, and most recently, as co-director of the Monroe County Aging Alliance. Pat is quick to share helpful tips about inclusive language and inspiring stories about local progress on creating a community where people age well. We appreciate all the great work Pat has done for the greater Rochester community. #RetirementCelebration #MakingADifference #NewChapter

Rochester Area Community Foundation reposted this
🌟 New Chapters, New Adventures! 🌟 After two fulfilling years as co-directors of the Monroe County Aging Alliance, we’re embarking on our next journeys. Leanne Rorick will be joining the Monroe County Office for the Aging this September, and after more than 40 years in the aging field, Pat Campbell will be retiring at the end of August. This transition is bittersweet for both of us. While new chapters bring exciting opportunities, it has truly been an honor to work alongside our partners to create a community where people age well. We are incredibly proud of what the Aging Alliance has accomplished and will always cherish the memories and friendships we’ve made along the way. The Aging Alliance is in a strong position to continue thriving. In 2022, after 10 years as an informal consortium of leaders in the aging field, we became a joint initiative of Rochester Area Community Foundation and the United Way of Greater Rochester and the Finger Lakes. Both organizations are deeply committed to carrying forward the work we’ve had the privilege to lead. Here's to new beginnings and adventures that await! Please stay in touch – we’re just a message away. 😊 With gratitude, Leanne and Pat #Farewell #NewBeginnings #Gratitude #CareerChange #NextChapter
