Point in fact this non profit has been in operation for 50 years and has a long history of providing quality services with a good working relationship with the county for many of those years.  The agency due to the hard work of very dedicated staff has consistently met and exceeded expectations set by any number of funders including the county . Obviously the current financial situation did not originate under Mr. Cogens watch but he has taken on the task of financially strengthening an agency with a long history of community commitment. His past is his past, and he has paid a high price for his indiscretions it is time for the rest of us to move on from that. Impact NW should not be judged by anyone's past but on its own merit of service to the community and definitely not on someone's personal elevated feeling of righteousness.
