Support Beacon Hill Friends House
BHFH’s future and new Executive Director are worth investing in
By Suzanna Schell, Board Member
I'm so excited by Jen Newman stepping into the Executive Director role at Beacon HIll Friends House. This embodies a key part of our mission to nurture Quaker leadership.
I met Jen after she moved to Boston in her early twenties, freshly graduated from Vanderbilt Divinity School, when she began attending Beacon Hill Friends Meeting. Over the last 6 years, I have watched Jen blossom through her first full-time job, through committee service and membership in BHFM, to stepping into the Program Manager role for BHFH and getting promoted to Program Director after flourishing in that role.
Jen is now widely known in Quaker circles as a rising Young Adult Quaker leader. She has strong gifts of community care, insight and discernment about finding one's place in the world, which she has brought to her roles at BHFH over the last few years. That’s really special to have as a leader of this organization. We are lucky that she said “yes” to the continued call to serve BHFH.
Right now we have a special opportunity to support the House and Jen's growth as a leader as she supports these gifts in others.
BHFH has $15,000 left to hit our annual fund goal for this fiscal year. We need community support to help BHFH finish this fiscal year with strong, secure footing.
Will you join me in investing in BHFH’s future and new Executive Director by making a donation to BHFH’s annual fund before June 30th?
