As part of our mission to continue to keep children safe and families strong, Children’s Relief Nursery’s Board of Directors announces a potential strategic partnership and leadership change. Janice Gratton, Children’s Relief Nursery Board of Director’s Executive Committee, states, “We are in preliminary discussions with a potential services partner. We have made a few changes in staff leadership positions. The Board and executive team’s goal is to continue a strong and vibrant program for the families we serve. Joining forces with another organization can make for a more efficient and economical infra-structure, particularly in the current economic environment.” The Board has appointed Karen Ward, former Director of Finance and Administration, at Children’s Relief Nursery, to Interim Executive Director. Children’s Relief Nursery will share other changes this winter when the strategic plan is complete.
