Greetings!
On behalf of the Board and Staff at The Sophia Way, I am very
happy to announce that we have hired Angela Murray as our new Executive
Director.
After a thorough search, Angela rose to the top with her
experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, board development and
volunteer engagement. Angela brings not only the experience, but the energy
and enthusiasm, necessary to continue to advance the mission of The Sophia
Way.
Angela comes to The Sophia Way after serving as the executive
director of the Volunteer Center of Whatcom County, where she was
recognized for her success facilitating board, staff and community partners
working together in a strategic initiative to collaboratively solve
community challenges through volunteerism, donor engagement and partnership
with key stakeholders. She was also recognized with the 2014 Community
Achievement Award for her efforts in the local community.
With our new leader, we are eager to move forward, serving
women experiencing homelessness in our community and strengthening the
partnerships with our local providers, funders, and the many individuals
and groups who actively support our programs. Angela will start in her role
on April 14. Rae Levine, Interim Executive Director, will be working
closely with the staff, board and Angela to ensure a smooth transition.
Please join me in welcoming Angela to our Eastside community.
More details to follow on a welcoming meet-and-greet with Angela.
Finally I want to thank Rae Levine for her leadership as
Interim Executive Director. She has been invaluable in assisting us through
this time period and putting us in a strong position to move forward with
our mission.
Thank you for your ongoing support of and collaboration with
The Sophia Way.
Lynn Engel, Board Chair
