    Philanthropy in Action 2017-2018 REPORT TO THE COMMUNITY 2 A+ FOUNDATION From the President BOARD Donald Pilmer* The term, philanthropy, is one which sometimes seems to belong to an elite, President well-moneyed class of individuals. As a result, most of us don’t think of ourselves Ingrid Roney* as philanthropists. In reality, however, each of the names within this report is a Executive Director philanthropist – an individual whose gift has made a difference. This sort of grassroots philanthropy is important because it provides opportunities for so many who, without Kerry Proczko those gifts, may not realize the potential which exists in all of us. Vice President Randi Ochsenschlager* The A+ Foundation for West Aurora Schools believes in the transformative power of Secretary education and funnels its efforts, through the allocation of philanthropic gifts, to the George Malina* staff, students, and community which is West Aurora District 129. The very existence Treasurer of the A+ Foundation is due to the generous nature of our supporters. And, while A+ is proud of its key endeavors like the Hall of Honor, Excellence in Education, Dr. Jeff Craig Richard Kerns Fund-A-Need, and Banding Together, if it weren’t for the continued support of our Donna Letzter community, alumni, and sponsors – our very own philanthropists – A+ wouldn’t be able Whitney Martino to implement these initiatives and honor our mission.

Over 200 city of Aurora stakeholders participated in the creation of this transition report with the idea that their recommendations would influence and be an integral component of future governmental decisions. These recommendations were so much in alignment with my vision for the city of Aurora and my goals to achieve that vision that this transition report has evolved into the City of Aurora’s Action Plan. For example, during my campaign and early in my administration, I spoke regularly of the need to improve the educational and career outcomes of Aurora’s youth. I believe our young people should be offered many academic and skills development opportunities that will ultimately lead to successful careers.
