To our esteemed donors and supporters,
Our year started with the launch of a leadership transition plan as we said goodbye to our past executive director, Sharon Papo. As a way of an update on that plan, I am pleased to let you know our interim co-directors, Ashlyn Adams and Deanna Zachary, have worked diligently to maintain continuity and strong leadership during a critical management changeover. The TDC board is grateful for the great work being done by them and our staff who continue to deliver uninterrupted services to the community.
We are on course to launch the next phase of our transition plan to bring on board a permanent Executive Director. This effort is being led by a committee of five board members, each of whom have exceptional and in-depth professional experience. I feel extremely confident that the effort and the rigorous process they’ve put in place will prove successful in our search. The recruitment campaign starts this week with a local and regional focus followed by a wider search if necessary.
As important contributors to our mission, I want to assure you that our board is committed to undertaking the necessary due diligence for hiring the most qualified Executive Director candidate for The Diversity Center. This is one of the most critical decisions our board will have to make, and we are prepared to do so in a most conscientious and steadfast way.
In appreciation of your generous support,
Marc Zammit
Chair of the Board of Directors
