Nurturing Tomorrow’s Future BY ANNA-RHESA VERSOLA
The Chatham County Partnership for Children held its annual board meeting and dinner at Starrlight Mead in Pittsboro June 21. North Carolina Rep. Robert Reives surprised outgoing Executive Director Genevieve Megginson with the Order of the Long Leaf Pine, one of the state’s highest honors for individuals who have made significant contributions to their community. The award recognizes Genevieve’s lifelong leadership and achievements that have improved the lives of children and their families in North Carolina. She has served in her role since 1994 and will pass the baton to a yet-to-benamed successor later this year. CM 4
