Honoring Adrienne’s Leadership & Looking Ahead

Today marks a significant transition for Susquehanna Valley United Way as we celebrate the incredible legacy of Adrienne, our President and CEO.

Over the past 10 years, Adrienne has led with passion and dedication, strengthening our impact across the region. While we are sad to see her go, we are deeply grateful for her leadership and commitment to our mission.

As we move forward, our hiring committee is actively searching for the right leader to carry our work ahead. We have received several strong applications and are committed to a thoughtful selection process. In the meantime, Adrienne is dedicated to ensuring a smooth and seamless transition to new leadership.

We are excited about the future and confident that, together, we will continue to create lasting change!
