By Rob Moore, Governance Committee Chair
THANK YOU, AUDREY AND ROGER
We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to two dedicated and committed, long-serving trustees, Audrey Hagerman and Roger LaFontaine.
Audrey has been a leader and committed board member two different times (1991-2012) and (2019-2024). Audrey’s involvement with various committees, including Governance and Human Resources, has shaped the program’s growth, and as a member of the Mayhew Legacy Society with her husband George, she leaves an enduring impact. Most impressively, Audrey inspired us all with a remarkable 1,600-mile bike ride from Maine to Florida to raise awareness and funds for Mayhew, going above and beyond. We thank Audrey for all she has done to make a difference for the boys. Audrey will continue to support Mayhew and the boys by serving on the Mayhew Advisory Council.
Roger’s journey with Mayhew began in 2001 when he was inspired by Audrey to join the board. He has brought invaluable insight, most recently serving on the Investment and Fore the Boys Golf Tournament Committees. Roger’s work, including planning the 26th tournament, exemplifies his passion for supporting New Hampshire boys. Like Audrey, Roger will also continue to support Mayhew and the boys by serving on the Mayhew Advisory Council.
We are deeply grateful for Audrey and Roger’s tireless contributions and unwavering commitment to the Mayhew Program and the boys.
