GlassRoots Bids Farewell to Longtime Board Members Roger C. Tucker III (Board President), Mary Jaffa (Treasurer) and Will Simpson.

We are sad to see Roger, Mary and Will go but we know we’ll still see them around the neighborhood!

💫 Roger has served on our board since 2017, transitioning to Board President in 2020. He helped steer our expansion to our future home in Teachers Village, brokered countless connections and has consistently been a passionate brand ambassador!

💫 Mary has served as our Treasurer since joining our Board of Directors in 2015. As Treasurer, Mary worked closely with our Executive Director, Carol Losos, and our Finance Committee to steward all financial affairs.

💫 Will Simpson joined the board in 2018 and has provided valuable guidance regarding our strategic priorities and critical community involvement.
