“We are appreciative to have the four elected directors continuing on the board for another three-year term. We will miss Deirdra Walsh, Northstar California who was elected, but has since left the area. The Board has appointed Jon Luster, Second Home Care to fill that opening. Jon has a robust background with extensive business and strategic planning acumen. The Board has become a strong, cohesive, highly-functioning Board, many with great historical knowledge that will serve the organization well in this time of reimagining and innovation. The Board recently participated in a visionary strategic planning session, discussing new, innovative ideas and opportunities. Having this group of leaders in place will be essential in the implementation of a new, dynamic organizational transition strategic plan” said Lynn Saunders, President and CEO.
Emily Vitas assumes the Chair of the Board position effective July 1, 2022.
