ASHFoundation Legacy Leaders
The Wendell Johnson Society Gets a New Name
The ASHFoundation’s Board of Trustees recently announced a name change for its planned giving program. "We believe Legacy Leaders reflects the purpose of a planned gift and also increases recognition for this important, sustaining gift-giving opportunity," said ASHFoundation president, Allan Diefendorf.
More than 30 people have planned a gift to the ASHFoundation through their will or other mechanism. This forward-thinking group of legacy donors have considered the kind of life they want to live, the kind of world they want to live in, and importantly, the life they wish for future generations of our professionals. The future gifts they have planned offer sustaining support for the long-term future of the ASHFoundation and help guarantee that future generations of innovators in the communication sciences will have the support and resources they need to explore exciting ideas, expand our knowledge base through innovation and discovery, and change the lives of people living with communication disorders.
"We hope that by using the word “legacy’ in the planned giving recognition title, our donors will immediately know the type of donor opportunity this is. So many of people tell us that they don’t spend as much time thinking about their legacy as they wish." said Tom Campbell, ASHFoundation past president. "But they do feel captivated by the idea of leaving behind something that will benefit their professional organization and the people they serve."
Thank You ASHFoundation Legacy Leaders – for promising a bright ASHFoundation future!
