In Memoriam: David Silk

With great sadness, we remember David Silk, dedicated CCWA Board Member and a long-time member of CCWA, who passed away on August 12, 2020. During this time of sorrow, our thoughts are with David’s family. As a board member, David was extremely generous with his time and talent, energetic and visionary with his ideas, and passionate about international engagement. As a friend, he shared with us his wonderful sense of humor and his curiosity for the world. The international community in Cleveland has lost one of its leading figures and most tireless advocates. CCWA has lost an extraordinarily dedicated board member and friend.
