Congratulations, Emily Davis, for being our most engaged member of fiscal year 24! We asked Emily to reflect on her first year as an SDWF member and this is what she said: "In just one year of SDWF membership, I feel like I've gained dozens of friends and allies who share my passion for building a more equitable and just community. I've loved participating on the Programs and DEI committee, as well as attending a wide variety of events. My favorite engagement in 2024 was attending the site visit for the Grants Process. Not only did I get to know the members in our site-visit group very well, we all left with goosebumps, truly in awe of the incredible impact the organization was making for such a vulnerable population."
