NOAH extends our deepest gratitude to Elizabeth Drury for her outstanding service and dedication as a member of the NOAH Board of Directors. First elected in 2017, Elizabeth brought passion and insight to the Board for the past eight years, concluding her term in May 2025.
During her tenure, Elizabeth served on the Executive Committee as both Officer-at-Large and Board Secretary, consistently providing thoughtful guidance. Many in our community will also know Elizabeth for her unwavering commitment as a champion on the Resource Development Committee, where she played a key role in shaping our fundraising and networking efforts that helped strengthen and sustain NOAH’s mission.
We are so thankful for the time, energy, and heart Elizabeth devoted to her Board service. Please join us in celebrating Elizabeth and her contributions to the NOAH family!
