Trustee Leadership in Action

CTS Board Chair, Elizabeth Goodrich Supports Immigrant Advocacy

Columbia Theological Seminary is grateful to share a recent initiative led by our Board Chair, Elizabeth Goodrich, owner of Thank You Books in Birmingham.

In response to current national events and the urgent needs of immigrant communities, Thank You Books will be donating proceeds from sales for a limited period to support an immigrant advocacy organization. This effort reflects Elizabeth’s ongoing commitment to public witness, community engagement, and faithful leadership beyond the Seminary.

We are proud to highlight the ways members of Columbia’s Board of Trustees continue to serve the church and society through meaningful acts of solidarity and generosity.

We are pleased to share this update as a reflection of the work our trustees are doing in the public sphere.
