"Graystone appreciates the opportunity to partner with AADO and sponsor this issue of the newsletter. Through client feedback, we have learned the value that AADO provides to those organizations that recognize the need to have diversity present in their development groups.

So, we have a new federal administration. Now what?
On January 20, 2021, many of us sat glued to our television screens to witness the inauguration of Joseph R. Biden. Perhaps you, like me, allowed yourself a faint sigh of relief, a breath, when the threats of another siege on the Capitol building did not manifest. After President Biden and Vice President Harris were sworn in, perhaps you also joined me in asking, now what?

A special and heartfelt thank you to Jill G. who for 10 years has worked behind the scenes with AADO on our website, newsletter, job postings, and hundreds of random things, often at the last minute. Jill offered to help when she was just graduating from high school and has stayed with AADO through graduations, her marriage, a mission to South America, and most recently the birth of her precious little boy, Aiden. AADO would never have been able to have the presence we've had over the past decade without Jill's commitment, talent and the "friends and family discount"!! Now Jill is leaving AADO to focus fulltime on motherhood. And she will be an awesome mother!! We will miss her more than words can say.
Take care Jill. You will always be an important part of AADO's history. We wish you, Gilberto and baby Aiden God's blessings.
--------Birgit and the entire AADO Family.
