One of our favorite traditions each year is celebrating a member who goes above and beyond to engage with the SDWF community. Congratulations to our Fiscal Year 2026 Most Engaged Member, Kathleen Lennard!

We asked Kathleen to reflect on one of her favorite SDWF experiences, and here's what she shared:

"My favorite engagement was volunteering at Bayside Community Center. It was a wonderful way to see one of our community partners in action and helped me appreciate the relationships they've built. It was so rewarding to contribute to the work they do every day to support our most vulnerable neighbors."

Congratulations, Kathleen, and thank you for your incredible enthusiasm, generosity, and commitment to SDWF. We're so grateful to have you as part of our community!

Please join us in welcoming our new Board President, Rochelle "Rocky" Hershfield!

A member of SDWF since 2016, Rocky has been an active leader and volunteer across the organization. She has served on numerous committees, including the Discovery, Inquiry & Guidelines (DIG) Committee and the Fellowship Committee, where she has mentored Fellows and helped research future grants topics. Her dedication to learning, collaboration, and community has made a lasting impact on SDWF.

When asked about her SDWF journey, here's what Rocky had to say:

"Being a part of this organization has opened my eyes and expanded my understanding of what it means to work on a team of like-minded, smart women who want to improve their community and help others. I knew nothing about collective philanthropy before I came to SDWF. To me, caring and compassion were writing checks at the end of the year to nonprofit organizations I believed in. Important, yes, but not the whole picture. I've learned so much being in SDWF, and I appreciate all the membership does collectively and what each member does individually."

As we begin a new fiscal year, we're excited for all that's ahead under Rocky's leadership. We're grateful to have such a thoughtful, dedicated leader guiding SDWF into this next chapter, and we look forward to another year of learning, connection, and collective impact together.
