Dear Friends,

For the past three and a half years, I have had the honor and blessing to be a part of Multifaith Works. As the agency’s first Development Director, I have had the opportunity to enhance its development activities. It is now time for me to transition to a new position which will link my desire to raise money for worthy nonprofits and renew my ministry within a Church community.

 I wanted to thank all of you for making this agency and my life so much better and stronger. My heart is filled with a profound sense of gratitude. I want to thank the talented staff of Multifaith Works, our incredible board, and all the wonderful volunteers who have served on the development and other event planning committees, and our incredible donors who have been so generous in supporting our mission.

Finally, I want to thank our incredible executive director, Arthur Padilla, from whom I have learned so much and who has encouraged me for the past two years. I am extremely hopeful for this agency and know that my marvelous replacement, Sue Chaplik will also find this to be a place where we honor each person, celebrate diversity and work to build a community of compassion.

With profound gratitude,

Gary Southerton

Development Director
