June 30, 2021 –
Last week, Cynthia Arnold passed the gavel to Clark Partington shareholder Megan Fry, who succeeds Ms. Arnold as Chair of the board of Children’s Home Society’s Western Division for the 2021-2023 term.
When we approached Ms. Fry to congratulate her on this tremendous achievement, she graciously thanked us and offered these words of praise for the outgoing chair:
“Cynthia guided us through a most challenging term with a servant’s heart and leadership. She is an inspiration to our board and we offer our gratitude and appreciation for her guidance. She has left big shoes to fill!”
We congratulate and thank both Ms. Fry and Ms. Arnold for answering this important call to serve children and families in our community.
