Arlene Rodriguez
In memoriam
In October 2021, CEH mourned the immense loss of our longtime advisor, Board Member, colleague, and friend Arlene Rodriguez, who passed away. Arlene was always enthusiastic, aimed for the moon, and was driven by what would make the world a better place. She enjoyed a long career as a Philanthropic Advisor, assisting foundations, individual donors, and philanthropic affinity groups to establish strong board leadership and governance structures, build strategic vision, and organize deep and effective funder-grantee collaborations. Arlene is survived by her wife Ansje Miller, former Policy Director at CEH; her daughter Gabriella Fazio; her daughter-in-law Leydi; and countless friends and family members across the Bay Area, North Carolina, New York, and beyond. Our lives are fuller, richer, and more aware because of the privilege of having shared this journey with her. With love, CEH Staff and Board
