Gratitude for Departing Board Members in 2022

Join Laura Feiler, Board President, and the entire DSAmd team to give gratitude to the Board Members who have departed from the DSAmd Board this year:

Sarah Geis Ridgway, past president

Sarah - Thank you for your many years of service to our board! Your tireless leadership, thoughtful planning, intentional collaboration, and authentic connection to others have helped us to grow immeasurably and to support so many families and those who love them!

Brian Coughlin, past vice president

Brian - Thank you for your years of service to DSAmd! We are grateful for the many hours you have worked behind the scenes (and the early mornings on walk day!) to help DSAmd continue to grow. We would not be where we are today without you!

Beth Myers

Beth - Thank you for your many years of service to our board. You have generously shared your knowledge, time and passion. Our walk would not be what it is without you and we could not have grown without you!

Ellen Scheel

Ellen - Thank you for your years of service to our board. You are a role model for your fellow self-advocates and have helped us grow into the Down Syndrome Association of Maryland!

Kelly Scheel

Kelly - Thank you for your many years of service and for the countless ways you have supported DSAmd, especially fellow parents. We can always count on your enthusiasm and willingness to help wherever needed and are indebted to you!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your service!
