Joanne G. Angle, 1941 – 2012

Dear fellow members,

It is with great sadness that we must inform you that this afternoon, Joanne G. Angle, ARVO's recently retired executive director, passed away in Charlottesville, Va.

Joanne led ARVO for 22 years, starting in 1990. Her dedication to the Association and her passion for our members' work made possible the tremendous growth and success we all share today.

She stepped down due to illness in January. The ARVO leadership and staff have keenly felt her absence; she was an inspiration for staff and members alike. She will be greatly missed.

In recognition of her committment to our work, we have launched the Joanne G. Angle Travel Grant. The family has requested that in lieu of flowers, those who wish to make a tribute to Joanne donate at www.arvofoundation.org/donation.

If you would like to share thoughts or memories of Joanne, please feel free to email them to arvo at arvo.org. We will collect them for her family and for a celebration of her life.

Yours sincerely,

         

Jeffrey H. Boatright, PhD, FARVO
President



Sally S. Atherton, PhD, FARVO
Executive Vice President
