She sets a high bar for the position, having served in many charitable leadership roles, including co-chair of the HonorHealth Scottsdale Thompson Peak Advisory Board and vice chair of the Board of Trustees. Laurie values healthcare but also envisions a future where people invest in their own wellness, so our lives are more healthy and more meaningful. Laurie and her husband Budd are always among the first to respond when HonorHealth has an urgent need. Their generosity has brought new technology, expanded clinical programs and supported crucial social services for our community. “We are immensely grateful for the service that David and Laurie have committed to the Foundation. They are leaders in finding cures, saving lives and transforming healthcare.” —Jared A. Langkilde, MBA, CFRE President & CEO HonorHealth Foundation WE HONOR: LEADERSHIP Laurie Florkiewicz and David Watson Board of Trustees Thank you, David Watson Immediate Past Chair It takes a very special and talented individual to lead effectively under the sudden restrictions of COVID-19. At the start of his term, David presided over the first virtual board meetings, teaching the virtues of camera angle and the mute button! David’s energy and humor were engaging and despite the many challenges, he presided over two of the most successful years in Foundation history, giving us an excellent foundation from which to continue this growth. For two years, David shared not only his leadership talents, but he and his wife Christine also made generous gifts supporting vital HonorHealth programs and services.
