Former Board Member, Northwest Area Foundation

“I don’t come from the world of finance so I’ve especially appreciated Millie’s willingness to answer my questions. She’s really helped me understand how the Foundation manages and administers all facets of its operations. I also admire the way Millie values teamwork by honoring the expertise of other staff members.”
Lynda Bourque Moss
Board Chair, Northwest Area Foundation

“She never doubted or stifled my curiosity about investment despite my professed ignorance. That willingness to embrace a desire to learn, and then nurture it is one of the things I’ll remember fondly about Millie.”
