Pathway to Possible’s Board of Directors Announces
Brenda Noel as the Recipient of the 2026 Carol Beard Visionary Community Leader Award
We are thrilled to announce Brenda Noel, MSW, outgoing Executive Director of Pathway to Possible, as the recipient of the 2026 Carol Beard Visionary Community Leader Award.
This award recognizes exceptional individuals whose commitment, advocacy, and leadership uplift P2P’s mission and community.
The Pathway to Possible Board of Directors chose Brenda for this recognition because of the extraordinary impact she has had on P2P’s people, homes, programs, staff, families, and future.
Brenda has led P2P with heart, humor, steadiness, and joy. During her time as Executive Director, she has strengthened our residential services, supported meaningful programming, deepened family connection, and continued to invest in the direct care staff who make this work possible every day.
Like Carol Beard, Brenda has helped shape a community rooted in dignity, care, belonging, and possibility. Carol’s legacy lives on through this award and through the people who continue to move P2P’s mission forward with vision, generosity, and deep commitment.
Brenda has always reminded us to find the joy.
Joy in a safe and welcoming home. Joy in meaningful relationships. Joy in being known, supported, and celebrated. Joy in the daily moments of care and connection that make P2P so special.
This year’s Autumn Auction theme, The Joy of Possibility, reflects Brenda’s leadership and the spirit of the community she has helped build.
We hope you will join us as we celebrate Brenda at P2P’s 2026 Autumn Auction on Thursday, October 15, 2026.
Thank you event sponsors!
