Big congratulations to our own Rheya Cole on completing The West Orange Foundation’s Leadership West Orange Program.

Over the course of the program, Rheya stepped into a hands-on exploration of our community, with monthly sessions, site visits,
and plenty of behind-the-scenes learning. She showed up with curiosity, heart, and the same quirky, award-winning humor that readers know and love from her column.

We’re so proud to celebrate her and lucky to have her as part of our team!!
