** In Remembrance of Orneata
------------------------------------------------------------
Last month, Orneata Prawl, one of our organization’s first board members, passed away. In honor of her life and legacy, we are collaborating with our PEAK Northeast chapter to create a virtual mentoring program – an initiative that will continue to foster the community of grants management professionals that Orneata helped to create.

Through the words of some PEAK colleagues who knew her best, we offer this tribute to Orneata, celebrating her many contributions to our community, the profession of grants management, and philanthropy.

Review how PEAK's member-led community advanced our goals in 2019, preparing us to rise to these challenges together.
