Dear Friends,
I just want give you a quick update. Later this year, I will be stepping down as the executive director of Clothes To Kids of Denver. It is my intention to move back into the role of development director, the position I held previously and feel passionate about pursuing again.
I am so grateful to the Clothes To Kids family for the opportunity to be a part of this incredible organization since 2014 and to serve as executive director for the past four years. We have certainly grown, and I am proud of our accomplishments and the support of our wonderful volunteers and donors. I am so thankful to our great staff and their commitment to our mission and to the students that we serve. Fun fact - our small group of eight staff members have a combined 49 years of employment with Clothes To Kids!
As we prepare to celebrate the 15th anniversary of our founding, I can’t help but be excited for our next chapter. The service that we provide to our community is invaluable, and the dignified shopping experience that we offer is priceless.
Thanks to all of you for your wonderful support, and I look forward to continuing to be part of this beautiful family. This transition will help me be more available to my own family, including my handsome new grandson Theodore Lenwood Somers (snuggling with me above!).
Love,
Val
P.S. Our board has appointed a search committee to find a new executive director. If you are interested in taking the helm, please contact our board chair, Mary Valenti, at mary@parsons.net.
