Celebrating 20 Years of Service - Dorothy Gurka

Published on 1/1/2026

CELEBRATING 17 YEARS OF LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE!

After 20 years of dedicated service, our longtime Executive Director, Dorothy Gurka, has officially retired. Her leadership has shaped our association in countless ways, and her influence will continue to guide our work for years to come.

Dorothy built strong relationships across our community, strengthened partnerships, and touched the lives of so many people throughout her two decades with us. Her compassion, professionalism, and steady guidance supported our growth, helped us navigate change, and ensured our members always felt valued and supported.

While we will deeply miss her presence, we celebrate the legacy she leaves behind and the many contributions that have made our association stronger. We extend our heartfelt gratitude for her years of service and wish her joy, rest, and new adventures in this next chapter of life.
