In Memory of Gillian Campbell

In Memory of Gillian Campbell
We were deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Gillian Campbell last month. Many of you will remember Gillian for her incredible dedication and warmth during her seven years working alongside Lew Shomer, Clare Shomer, and me on SISO. She was not only a valued colleague but also a true partner in shaping the organization’s growth and spirit.

Gillian brought grace, intelligence, and a steady hand to everything she touched. Her contributions went far beyond the tasks at hand — she helped build a sense of community, fostered meaningful relationships, and always led with kindness. Her presence made a lasting impact on all of us who had the privilege to work with her.

We will miss her dearly and remember her with gratitude and affection.
