Congratulations to Cynthia Andrews, President and CEO of the Community Foundation of Lorain County, as she announces her retirement, effective January 31, following nine years of leadership.
Cindy has been a valued partner and strong advocate of the MHARS Board of Lorain County. We appreciate her leadership and support on many community projects, but especially her role in making the Lorain County Crisis Recovery Center a reality.
Under her leadership, the LifeShare Legacy Fund was established at the Community Foundation, resulting in a $1 million contribution to the Crisis Recovery Center - the largest single gift ever made.
Thank you, Cindy, for your partnership, generosity, and commitment to our community. We wish you all the best in retirement!
