At this year’s Walk, we were excited to present a very special award to a very special person.
In recognition of her extraordinary leadership, enduring advocacy, and lasting impact in advancing the rights, needs, and voices of people building families across New England, we were thrilled to honor past Executive Director Kate Weldon LeBlanc with AllPaths’ first People’s Advocate Award.
For 11 years as Executive Director of AllPaths Family Building, and through her work as co-founder of State Strong and co-founder of The Endometriosis Alliance of Massachusetts (TEAM), Kate has been a trusted and beloved leader, champion, and advocate for our community, leaving an enduring mark on the organization and the countless people and families whose lives she has touched. We are forever grateful that she is one of our people.
