Judith Leonard, longtime BronxWorks board member, passed away earlier this month. Judith served on the BronxWorks Board of Directors for many years, joining the board of then-Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) after the merger between Girls Club of New York and CAB. Judith was an incredibly dedicated board member, and she provided guidance and support as CAB grew and transformed into BronxWorks in 2009. Her loss is felt throughout the organization and especially by the BronxWorks Board of Directors. We send our thoughts, well-wishes, and our deepest sympathy to her family.

In 2012, in celebration of our 40th Anniversary, Judith wrote a letter about why she had served on nonprofit boards for over 40 years. Read the full letter here.
