A Tribute to Our Former Board Member

In Memory of Gordon Balser

A tribute to our beloved board chair, Gordon Balser. His incredible leadership and unwavering dedication to our adult learning organization will always be remembered and cherished. 


Gordon was very supportive in the work we do and always made an effort to attend special events and lend a helping hand. He was always up for a friendly conversation with staff and students and helped in anyway he could above and beyond his role. 


Gordon leaves behind an extraordinary legacy that will continue to impact lives for generations to come. We are grateful for the privilege of having worked alongside him, witnessing his passion and commitment firsthand.


He was a valuable member of our organization and even more so our community.
