It is with great sadness that Bethesda Green announces the passing of their Executive Director Adam M. Roberts, who died unexpectedly on Saturday, November 19th. He is survived by his wife Stephanie Shain, his daughters Bella and Mia, and their seven pets.
During his tenure, he expanded Bethesda Green’s community outreach and civic engagement, joining the Montgomery County Climate Action Planning Coalition which contributed important feedback to local climate legislation, notably the Building Energy and Performance Standards Bill and the Climate Assessment Bill.
The family’s announcement for the date of service is forthcoming. A Memorial Fund has been set up in Adam's name to alleviate the burden of the variety of immediate expenses and to seed Adam’s legacy.

“Discrimination is a real and common occurrence for most American women,” report Stephanie Childs and Angela Houghton for AARP Research.
Last fall, AARP and the University of Chicago surveyed more than 6,600 U.S. women and found that “the majority of women surveyed (75% of those age 18–49 and 63% of those 50-plus) say they experience discrimination regularly…. The top reason among women 50 and over who experience discrimination ‘at least sometimes’ is age (48%), while for those age 18–49, race/ethnicity/skin tone is the most prominent type of discrimination (54%).”
