As the COVID-19 pandemic causes immense hardship for our community, ASC successfully moves all its services to virtual or socially-distanced platforms. In July 2020, long-time ASC supporter and former Board Member Terry Pottmeyer, J.D., assumes the role of Interim Executive Director while the Board conducts a nation-wide search for a new leader who can help ASC recommit to its mission and anti-racist goals as an organization. In May 2021, they find that leader in Dr. Pela S. Terry, who comes to ASC with decades of experience in nonprofit management and social justice in New York State.
