Bon Voyage to
Margie Wakeham
as she retires from
Families Forward
. She will be missed for her work, not only as leader of an organization that has put roofs over the heads of thousands of parents and children, but as a consistently strong voice for offering compassion to homeless people in Orange County.
Margie has been a very special advocate for our work and we are very fortunate to have her continue as a Coach in our
Executive Coaching Program
and look forward to working with her for years to come!
