 AVRIL WEISMAN IS LEAVING THE PARTNERSHIP AFTER 28 YEARS
|  After more than 28 years of service to Community Action, Avril Weisman is leaving the Partnership. Her last day will be Friday, January 29th.
Avril has been a mainstay at the Partnership for many years and has generously given of her time, dedication, and commitment-we cannot say thank you enough! Her steady hand on the annual convention has allowed it to grow and thrive. She has provided leadership during board and staff transitions that has allowed the Partnership to weather the years successfully and has always kept the needs of the Community Action Network at the forefront of her work.
Avril has served in several positions starting out as Assistant to the Director, then Director of Membership and Events, and, beginning in 2002, Vice President. Since 2012, Avril served as Chief Administrative Officer. She came to the Partnership from the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (N4A), where she worked as a Research Assistant and made the initial connection with Community Action Partnership (then NACAA) on a grant project. Avril was very pleased to accept a job offer with Community Action and the rest, as they say, is history.
Avril, you will be missed!
 If you would like to reach out and offer your good wishes, Avril can be reached at aweisman@communtiyactionpartnership.com.
Many of you know that her husband Michael Weisman has also worked at the Partnership for the past 8 years. He will be retiring as well. His involvement in CCAP has been critical as the program has grown over the years and his support for our events had kept us organized and running smoothly. Thank you, Michael! Michael can be reached at mweisman@communityactionpartnership.com.
