Hello DSC Members,

I am pleased to announce that Martin Potter will be joining the DSC as our new Executive Director on Friday, February 11th. Martin comes to us from Catholic Charities where he was an Operations Manager. He has years of experience with managing staff, volunteers, and working with large local foundations.

I would like to thank the tremendous work done by the Executive Director Search Task Force made up of Alan Dunklow, Mike Oh, and Marty Fetsch who reviewed over 25 candidates. They conducted a number of video interviews to hone down the pool of candidates. There was then an in-person interview with three finalists which led us to Martin being our preferred candidate. Martin then met with the staff and had a call with members of the After Guard. In the end, this was an easy call and we are thrilled to have Martin coming on board.

Martin will be working hard to get up to speed in the next few months however you will be seeing him on the docks, around the BMI, and at social events. He can be reached at martin@downtownsailing.org. Please join me in welcoming him to our awesome community!

Thank you,

Chris Rossi

DSC Board President
