A passionate philanthropist and arts patron, Joanna was a visionary who believed firmly in the power of, and right to, a solid education to open doors to opportunity for all students. Her family says Joanna \u201cwas never happier than when she was learning.\u201d<\/p>\n
All of HEAF’s directors will miss Joanna\u2019s friendship, participation and voice \u2013 one of reason, calm, caring and common sense. She challenged us all to be better. Kind yet firm, Joanna drew on her keen intellect and vast experiences to raise alternate perspectives and promote healthy debate, always to the betterment of our decisions for our students.<\/p>\n
