We are grateful to Ileana Mendez for her years of service as she steps down from the A.R.E. of NYC Board of Directors.

Her wisdom and heart-felt contributions have helped to shape this organization and its mission. She has also served as Chief Ambassador, hosting many of our programs and coordinating the team of ambassadors in doing so. We hope she will continue in that role, bringing her inspiring voice to our community.

Thank you, Ileana!
