"Stella Cash is well-known, respected, and admired throughout our region, state, and nation," said Zonta Club charter member MaryLee Davis, retired distinguished MSU professor and administrator. "In fact, few individuals have achieved the level of distinction, leadership, and meritorious accomplishments in as many different professional fields as this multi-talented individual."
Cash defines the key to her success – at Sparrow and in her other pursuits – as her interest in, and connections to, people.
"I’m very passionate about this community, and very fortunate to be connected to Sparrow," she said.
