Patrick Byrne will be stepping down as President, a position he has held for the past four years, but will remain on the Foundation's Board of Directors. "The Board of Directors and I are extremely proud of how much the Foundation has grown over the past several years and I am honored to have been a part of this," explains Pat. "However, given my wife Anne's recent selection as President-Elect of the National School Boards Association, I felt that the time was right to hand the reins to new leadership within the Foundation. This will enable me to support Anne in her new role, and the extensive travel it requires. Judge Sherwood and the other members of our Executive Team are highly committed to guiding the Foundation, and I know it will be very successful in the coming years."

"I am extremely honored that the Board has placed its confidence in me as President," says Judge Sherwood. "Ours is a true working board, with every member committed to making the organization a leader in Rockland-based charitable giving. We have some solid plans in place for the next twelve months, and I'm looking forward to seeing where they will take us."
About the Rockland Community Foundation
The Rockland Community Foundation is committed to improving the quality of life for all people in Rockland County by increasing charitable giving. Its mission is to connect people and businesses with the causes that matter most to them through the creation of funds, across a wide range of interests, that donors create and the Foundation grows. A registered, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, it is governed by a local Board of Directors and an Advisory Board comprised of community leaders from both public and private sectors.
Community foundations put philanthropy within reach, offering the ability to establish funds that will continue to give for years to come, with tax benefits that donors can take advantage of now. Most importantly, the funds stay in the community, which means donors will see the impact of their contributions in the place they call home.
