We are sad to announce the resignation of Theresa Bray, our longtime Executive Director and CEO. After 20 years with the Foundation, Theresa submitted her resignation and will be moving on to new adventures. We’d like to acknowledge our gratitude to Theresa for her commitment and passion for the Allegan County Community Foundation and her many contributions. We wish her all the best.
The good news is we have a strong Board of Trustees and staff and that we will continue to successfully meet the needs of Allegan County. Lee Wittkop who retired last year after working 14 years as Administrative Officer at the Foundation has agreed to serve as our Interim Director and Jennifer Collins and Vicki Knuckles will continue in their important roles. We’ve established a Transition Team consisting of members of our Board of Trustees to work with the staff on preparing the ACCF for a new Executive Director. We anticipate beginning the Executive Director search process in late spring 2021.
Your participation as our partners is essential to our ongoing success and we are committed to communicating with you on a regular basis to provide updates on our progress. As we look to the future, we are excited about the opportunity to continue working with all of you in our communities and to continue playing a role in meeting the needs of Allegan County. The Foundation will share its strategic vision and direction with you as we continue our planning activities.
Thank you for your past support. We look forward to working together in the future.
Please direct any questions to Laree Waanders, Vice President, Board of Trustees,
With best regards,
The Allegan County Board of Trustees
