Each year at our annual Spring Salon Fundraiser, Key to Change presents a Community Achievement Award in recognition of outstanding service. This year our Board of Directors has selected LeAnne Moss and Renton Regional Community Foundation (RRCF) for their tireless efforts to make Renton a more equitable and vibrant place.
LeAnne is the RRCF’s executive director, and under her leadership, the Foundation and its board have contributed to our city in too many ways to count. Their work shines a light on the needs in Renton, but they also find the resources to address them. The RRCF brings the community together, invests in critical areas, and creates opportunities for all of us to build a stronger, more vibrant Renton.
LeAnne joins an incredible cohort of past honorees, including arts leader Vivian Phillips and UW Tacoma’s Chancellor, Dr. Sheila Edwards Lange. LeAnne is an effective and empathetic executive who makes smart, thoughtful decisions and a leader in the philanthropic and nonprofit community. With 25 years of experience working for social change, she has made a lasting impact. Join us on Sunday, May 4 at Benaroya Hall as LeAnne and the RRCF receive their 2025 Community Achievement Award.
