Thanking Joan Casey for her LFU Board Service
We say a hearty “Thank You” to our own Joan Casey, Ph.D., who has faithfully served as a member of the LFU Board of Directors for the past eight years. A lifelong educator, Joan has been a key part of LFU’s education mission, co-facilitating our annual Teachers Workshop in Linden, Region 10. In 2019, Joan served as the co-chair of LFU’s 20th Anniversary Gala. As the former Chair of the NY Chapter, she led LFU’s Senior Citizens initiative that was launched at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, providing vitally needed face masks, hot meals and essential personal care products to more than 150 elderly residents each year. As head of LFU’s board-level Membership Committee, she helped to vision and chart a course for engaging and retaining our members. Thank you, Joan, for your impactful and selfless Board service and for your ongoing commitment to LFU! #GivingBack #CommunitySpirit
