On Friday, December 12, MAR gathered with our closest partners, supporters, and friends for our annual Renewal Assembly, an evening dedicated to celebrating our shared accomplishments and looking ahead to the exciting year to come.
The evening began with mingling, reconnecting with familiar faces, and building new relationships with fellow supporters of MAR’s mission.
Next, attendees were welcomed into a series of presentations that highlighted both how far we’ve come and where we’re headed next. Dr. Michelle Ellena opened the program with an introductory address, setting the tone for the evening. Next, Avery, MAR’s Digital Strategist, shared the big news of the night: MAR’s rebrand! This exciting update marks a new chapter for our organization and reflects our continued growth, values, and future vision.

The presentations concluded with an inspiring message from Dr. Joe Maltese, President of the MAR Board. Dr. Maltese spoke passionately about MAR’s continued evolution and the direction of our work, with special emphasis on the SOL initiative.
The remainder of the evening was dedicated to celebration and honoring all that we have achieved and the incredible community that makes MAR’s mission and vision possible. We are deeply grateful to everyone who supports MAR and helps bring our work to life.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We look forward to all that lies ahead in 2026!
