Welcoming New Faces
This year, we welcomed several new staff members whose talents, experience, and heart for the community have already made a meaningful impact.
Mary Windsor joined the Foundation in March. With decades of nonprofit accounting experience, she brings deep financial expertise and a love for big-picture thinking. Mary supports both the finance and investment committees and has played a key role in refining internal workflows and strengthening separation of duties — all while describing the Foundation as her dream job.
Lucretia Greene-Adams came on board in April after 18 years in federal government service, including her last role as a finance analyst at the Department of Homeland Security. Now managing scholarship disbursements, student communications, and aspects of the online application system, she speaks with pride about making sure students receive their awards on time. Her passion for giving back is palpable and personal.
Liz LaCorte joined in August with 25 years in nonprofit leadership and a background that includes serving as the first executive director of the Key Biscayne Community Foundation. Most recently, she oversaw advancement at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Now at MSCF, she’s focused on donor and nonprofit relationships, excited to help strengthen community connections in a place she proudly calls home.
Robbin Hill Retires After Nearly 24 Years of Service
In July, the Mid-Shore Community Foundation bid farewell to Robbin Hill, who retired after nearly 24 years of service.
Hill joined the Foundation in 2001. Her interview took place on September 12, 2001 — the day after the 9/11 attacks. That night, Hill told her husband, “If this is real, it could be really great.” She was right.
Hired alongside the Foundation’s first president, Hill helped transform the organization from a volunteer-led initiative into a trusted philanthropic institution. Over the course of her tenure, the Foundation grew its assets by more than $150 million and expanded its services to donors and nonprofits across the Mid-Shore region.
Hired initially as Foundation Manager, Hill’s role evolved and grew with the organization. Closest to her heart were the grants and scholarships programs, which she helped expand. “It was an honor to do the work, and a privilege to be associated with the people who make it happen,” said Hill.
