In September 2010 I met Margaret on our Learning Tour to Metro in Columbus, Ohio and Lake Travis High School in Arizona. From the first moments of engaing with Margaret her intelligence, commitment, creativity, experience, caring and compassion was a magnet. In the days, weeks, months and years that followed Margaret became advisor, mentor and friend to myself and our team at East Syracuse Minoa. Margaret's leadership was instrumental in guiding the development and successful launch of the CNY STEM Hub. To date we have hosted more than 70 districts from 6 different states in Learning Tours at ESM with the ongoing support of Margaret. In August of 2014, Margaret joined us for the first annual Collaborative Educators' Summit and shared meaningful messages about our current work and the foundation for the future. Margaret's legacy is impacting our current students, teachers, administrators, leaders, higher education and business partners and will do so for many generations to follow. I can truly say that my life and the lives of many others has been enriched and blessed in knowing Margaret.
