In addition to ten individual donors, representatives of ten local foundations joined the gathering, which featured staff presentations about GSWA’s work to analyze local building trends (supported by the Victoria Foundation); its stewardship of the GSWA Conservation Area property (supported by the Michele and Agnese Cestone Foundation); and its educational outreach program (supported by the Summit Area Public Foundation). Trustee Nancy P. Conger also spoke to the group, thanking them on behalf of GSWA’s Board and relating her experiences as a local foundation trustee.

The most-often-heard suggestion from the invited guests: "Keep up the good work – and keep the public, and other foundations, better informed about what you’re doing."
