Our Board…Our Champions

A Message from the Executive Director

Susan Weiner

I have had the pleasure of working at Larc School for 37 years—24 of those years as executive director. Over this last year as we celebrated our 50th Anniversary serving our very special students and their families, we have had many opportunities to reflect on the journey that has led us to where we are today. We’ve recognized and thanked our very first families who dreamed of Larc, our dedicated and creative staff who make miracles happen every day, and our generous friends and supporters who believe in us and are there when we need them.

There is another group that deserves enormous recognition. They share our passion, our commitment, and our dream. They sometimes stand quietly in the background and sometimes they boldly lead the charge. Larc is more than a meeting they attend multiple times a year—Larc is always in their heart. Everyday they go about their lives listening and looking for opportunities to benefit our school and our students. They are our Board of Directors. They are our champions.

They each have their own story of how they came to be on the Larc Board and part of our Larc family. They bring expertise in education, advocacy, public service, business acumen, and legal matters. They are diverse individuals, but together they have a shared vision for Larc. They are so committed that this board has been together almost the entire 24 years I have been director. In all those years, if there was anything we needed, anything that would enhance the lives of our students and their families, they never hesitated or said no. They say, “Let’s do it or how do we make it happen.”

Larc School is so fortunate to have this Board, these champions. We would not be here today celebrating 50 years of excellence serving children and their families without them.
