Farewell Message from Christina Saunders

Dear Friends,

When I stepped into the ACES office on my first day as Executive Director – nearly a decade ago – I could never have imagined the exhilarating, meaningful, rewarding roller coaster of journey my time with ACES would be. I am so proud of all ACES and its team of supporters have accomplished on behalf of our Minnesota students, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of it.

There’s no way I could sum up my time at ACES in one message. But as I step down from my role, I want to share a personal message of reflection and gratitude. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch this short video highlighting some of the successes and relationships that stand out.

With visionary leadership from our Board, dedicated and expert staff, and an unwavering team of supporters like you, ACES enters its next chapter with momentum and strength. ACES will be announcing the next Executive Director soon and I can’t wait for you to meet them!

ACES and its students, supporters, and team have touched my life profoundly. I look forward to being part of the ACES family for many years to come.

With deepest gratitude,
Christina
