As I sit at my desk watching new snowflakes gently fall, I’m reminded that January is a time for new beginnings. T.S. Eliot said “last year’s words belong to last year’s language and next year’s words await another voice…to make an end is to make a beginning.” I think this is what is so magical about the opportunity we create for ourselves every January – the chance to leave behind what was, and to reach out for what can be.
Friends of the Rouge (FOTR), whose mission is to restore, protect and enhance the Rouge watershed through education, collaboration and stewardship, has named Ashley Flintoff, PMP, LEED AP, as its new executive director.
Flintoff, who will begin her new role on July 8, 2024, is set to lead FOTR with a focus on strategic planning, program evolution, organizational policies and ensuring the organization’s fiscal stability.
After over seven years in this role – I share the bittersweet news that I will begin the transitioning process out of my role as executive director. Finally saying it out loud to you all feels so heavy. So, I want to pause for a moment.
