Statement of the Northern New York Community Foundation

April 29, 2021 By admin

     WATERTOWN — Yesterday, our community experienced a devastating loss that leaves our region deeply shaken. Our Community Foundation family feels a particular sense of emptiness and pain as we grieve our friend and colleague. Maxine Quigg joined our board in 2019 and has been a strong advocate for the Foundation’s work and mission. Her leadership has made us a better organization. Her sudden and tragic death leaves us and our entire community with a tremendous void. We share these same sentiments for Terry O’Brien. As we work together to support each other through the pain and grief, we will continue to surround their families, friends, and colleagues with our love and caring. As a board, we will discuss how we can appropriately acknowledge and observe Maxine’s contributions to the Northern New York Community Foundation and all those we serve.

Katherine Fenlon, Chair, Board of Directors
Rande Richardson, Executive Director
