We are delighted to welcome Roy Bates to our Board of Directors!  Roy says,

I am thrilled to join the Silver Lining Mentoring Board.  I first learned about the organization when I attended Match last year.  Most of us have been fortunate to benefit from the guidance and counsel of natural mentors. These may include mothers, fathers, grandparents, siblings, and work colleagues to name a few. These individuals have each played a role in helping us to navigate through this challenging ordeal we call life.  There are however people who through no fault of their own have not been fortunate to have this benefit. Silver Lining Mentoring provides that bridge for these young people to not only find their path but to develop the confidence to believe in the power of their own potential.  I am honored and look forward to being a part of the Silver Lining Mentoring family in the years ahead.”

Roy is currently Senior Vice President and the Chief Credit Officer at Cambridge Savings Bank. Roy has served on a number of local Boards focused on improving the lives of children and youth.

We are thrilled to welcome Roy to Silver Lining Mentoring!  Welcome Roy!
