“I believe strongly in the curative power of non-profit organizations within the communities that they serve,” sai Haddad, “and I am excited to lend my skills and experience to nurturing an empowered entrepreneurial ecosystem throughout the Shenandoah Valley.”

“We are so excited to have Rachel on board,” said Debbie Irwin, executive director of the SCCF. “Her energy, passion, and skillset is just what we have been looking for at SCCF, and we look forward to forging ahead as we continue to support the communities in the Shenandoah Valley.”
