Some people leave an imprint so deep on an organization that words feel inadequate to fully capture their impact. Terrie Rasheed is one of those people.
For more than a decade, Terrie served Crittenton Center as a dedicated Board Member, including time as our Board President, helping guide the organization with vision, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to children and families. Beyond the boardroom, Terrie also devoted several years to our fundraising committee, always willing to roll up her sleeve to ensure our mission could continue to grow and thrive.
Terries support of Crittenton has been nothing short of monumental. She brings thoughtfulness to every decision, compassion to every conversation, and a deep understanding of the responsibility we hold to the children and families we serve. While we are grateful for every individual who has shared their time and talents with Crittenton, Terrie's presence has been uniquely meaningful- she is truly woven into the fabric of the organization.
Her leadership reflects a belief that service is not about recognition, but about impact. As the quote so perfectly captures:
"There is nothing more truly artistic than to love people"- Vincent Van Gogh
Terrie has lived this philosophy through her steadfast advocacy, her generosity of time, and her genuine care for those most vulnerable in our community.
As Terrie steps away from her role on the board, we do so with both immense gratitude and a full heart. This transition is not a goodbye- it is simple a new chapter. Terrie will always be part of the Crittenton family, and her legacy will continue to be felt in the lives of the children and families she has helped uplift.
Thank you, Terrie, for believing in our mission, for standing alongside us, and for leaving Crittenton better than you found it. You are, always will be, ours forever.
