It is with profound sadness that I share with you the loss of our one and only, Bridget Cannon, VP of Program Operations. She was a friend, an ally, a mentor, a fierce advocate for youth people, and most importantly one of the best humans you’ll ever meet. She was quick to laugh, was the best storyteller and loved adventure.
Her love for VOA and the people in our doors was proven every day she stepped through them. For 32 years, Bridget Cannon came to VOA to ensure that young people had what they needed to thrive, and she stopped at nothing to provide it.
Bridget was not only a colleague, but a true friend and had a profound impact on us as human beings by teaching us how to do this work with intensity, honesty and fierceness.
As a VOA family, we are holding space to grieve Bridget’s loss. We know many of you will be doing the same.
