“I have been privileged to work with Michele for nearly 10 years and will miss her contagious spirit, dedication, hard work and enthusiasm. Under her leadership, the ASU Women & Philanthropy program has experienced a momentous increase in investors — currently at our highest level and nearly double the amount of annual grants to ASU. I am extremely grateful for Michele’s expert, tireless contributions to Women & Philanthropy.”

“Michele deserves great thanks for all she did for the Women & Philanthropy organization, but I also greatly appreciate the support and encouragement she gave me in guiding me to establish my own scholarship fund at ASU. I would never have done it on my own, or even thought I could possibly do something like that, if it weren't for Michele’s support. She is truly making the community a better place.”
