We are deeply grateful to outgoing Executive Director and co-founder Charlie Murphy, for the work he has done in supporting, growing, and advancing the work and connections of Quadrangle. This organization will be always shaped by his vision, persistence, and tremendous work.
Please join the Board as we extend to Charlie our heartfelt thanks, and our very best wishes as he moves into a different chapter of his life. Charlie will also be available for onboard support of the new ED.
