2025 Changes to Gazelle Foundation Board of Directors
With this new year, we are pleased to share changes to our board of directors. Welcome new board members Suellen Carson and Ashish Patel.
We extend our deepest thanks to exiting board members, Andi Gillentine and Paula McCaul whose efforts have made a profound impact on thousands of lives in Burundi. Families are healthier, sanitation and hygiene are boosted, and the risk of water-borne infectious diseases is reduced. Rather than spending hours collecting water, children are healthy and able to attend school. Paula has generously agreed to serve as co-chair of 2025 Spring For The Water Gala, and both Andi and Paula have generously agreed to serve on our Advisory Committee.
