Abraham Rogatnick (1923-2009) was a member of the Board of Directors of CAG for many years, and the Honorary Chair of the Capital Campaign that established our current facility at 555 Nelson Street. Rogatnick was a dedicated advocate of CAG, recognizing the unique character of the organization's program, frequently noting that it “filled a critical gap that other public and private institutions in the city cannot accommodate.” In recognition of his longstanding dedication and support, the organization's library was named in his honour following his passing in 2009.
