✨ **Celebrating the end of an era!** ✨

This past week, the Project GLAD® & MAS team had the bittersweet joy of celebrating our wonderful Betsy as she officially stepped into **retirement!** 💙

It was truly our pleasure to send her off properly and celebrate all that she has brought to this team. Your **care, generosity, expertise, and unwavering commitment** have touched every corner of our work. You have been a steady presence, a trusted colleague, and someone who always found a way to take care of the people around you.

Betsy, your impact goes far beyond the work you’ve done — it’s in the people you’ve supported, the teams you’ve strengthened, and the countless moments when your kindness made a difference. 💫

While we are so excited for you to embrace this well-earned next chapter, there’s no question that **your presence will be deeply missed.**

Here’s to retirement, new adventures, and all the wonderful things ahead! 🥂✨

**Congratulations, Betsy! We are so grateful for you and all you’ve given to the Project GLAD & MAS family.** 💙
