Remembering Charlotte

Charlotte Nugent, founding Greater Than member, passed away suddenly in June 2023, shortly after being diagnosed with cancer. She was one of the original 14 women who took a risk with Margot and Meredith in 2019 to launch Greater Than, before we even had a name, and kept bringing her community along year after year. Charlotte had been elected to local public office and gave us real insight into what candidates need to be successful. She pushed us to check our own biases about what makes a ‘good’ candidate, and championed local, first-time candidates. Shortly before she passed, Charlotte welcomed her first child, Heron, in March 2023 with her husband Ben. She was a committed educator, life-long learner, and community activist. Charlotte was 38. She was one-of-a-kind, and she is deeply missed.
