Next week we will be saying farewell to our incredible executive director, Nithya Thiru. Nithya took on the role of executive director in 2020, overseeing and guiding the organization through difficult times. She played a crucial role in helping Story Works grow and thrive into the wonderful organization it is today. In addition to Nithya's leadership, we are grateful for her compassion, care, and guidance in supporting youth, volunteers, staff, and educators. Although we are sad and will miss her greatly, we are also very happy for her as she starts the next chapter of her story. We are sure she will continue to bring folks together through storytelling. And, we plan to see you around, Nithya! Please help us thank Nithya and send her off with good vibes by writing her a note using this form: storyworksak.org/farewell-and-thank-you-nithya/
