At our March 2013 board meeting AFOW underwent a transition as Rod Rohda stepped down as President after seven years of extraordinary leadership. Rod said at the time:
“As I look back over my time with the American Friends of Whistler and I think about virtually every public organization in town we’ve been able to lend our support to…that’s something that really means something to me. It’s a terrific feeling to know that we’ve been involved with that many different organizations in the community.”
Following on the coverage in Pique and Question, Alix Nicoll wrote to the papers the following week:
I think that I can say that I speak on behalf of a great many of the Whistler/Sea to Sky not-for-profits in thanking Rod Rohda for his dedicated leadership of the American Friends of Whistler (AFOW) over the last seven years.
Our board feels likewise and at the end of our board meeting this past Saturday we surprised Rod by making a $15,000 grant to the Whistler Public Library, as announced today by RMOW.

Thanks Rod for all your past and future passion for making Whistler a terrific community.
