Brenda Ruello
Brenda Ruello is moving to a new role as Co-Founder and Vice-Chair Emeritus. Without Brenda’s ceaseless dedication, vision, and hard work Good Shepherd Academy simply would not be where it is today. Her wisdom and guidance have been invaluable as Good Shepherd SLF has grown from an idea to a vibrant reality. The good news is Brenda isn’t going anywhere! She will still be dreaming, advising, moving and shaking for Good Shepherd Academy in her new role, with our deep appreciation.
