TO THOSE WHO GIVE, THANK YOU. When caring people make it their job to give their time, talent, and heart to help others, it puts “good” into action. Thank you to all non-profit organizations, volunteers, and donors who are meeting the needs of others and changing lives in our communities. 417812-18

| 11 | SOCIETY OF CHAIRS · 2018 GALA Tonight’s celebration would not be possible without Linda Herold. In 2010, Linda collaborated with the former Ritz-Carlton Hotel at 24th & Camelback to create the Society of Chairs as a way to celebrate and recognize individuals who volunteered their time, talent and treasure to chair the charitable events in our community. Four years later, National Bank of Arizona stepped in as the new presenter of the event with Linda present at each and every one. And now, today, the event is back and it is only fitting that we honor Linda Herold for not only founding the beautiful celebration, but being an ever-present supporter of our community. Thank you, Linda… you dove in to be the ultimate connector since your arrival in our community. Your coverage as a society reporter for Frontdoors and other publications was always done with class and thoughtfulness of the organizations being supported. You founded three incredible professional organizations to help women build their networks and make new friends. You may be “retired” from these endeavors, but you still continue to connect us all for the greater good and we are all so very appreciative and thankful that you do. We are honored to continue Society of Chairs tonight and always. An Ode to Linda Herold
