We are sad to share the news that Pam Dashiell, Co-Founder and Executive Director of the Lower 9th Ward for Sustainable Engagement and Development, passed away suddenly Tuesday morning. Pam exemplified the very best of New Orleans. A compassionate and positive leader, Pam strove to realize equitable, just and healthy communities.
Pam Dashiell was not only a leader in her neighborhood, but also shared her experiences with communities across New Orleans. As an NPN Fellow, Pam partnered with Barbara Lacen-Keller to teach 20 neighborhoods how to Build Partnerships for Common Goals. Video of her presentation will be made available shortly.
Formal funeral arrangements are still in being planned. See the link below showing Pam speaking about her work with the Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development at last year's New Orleans Speaks Conference.
Pam's compassion, passion, knowledge and commitment will be deeply missed .
Our prayers and wishes are with Pam's family and friends.
