Executive Director Search Update
It is with great pleasure that I get to announce our new Executive Director, Eddie DeGraw. Eddie started last week, and plans to be at several of the spring events to meet Circle Piners. As part of Eddie’s onboarding, we will be scheduling several virtual meet and greets with those in different constituency groups as well. If you don’t get a chance to engage with Eddie then, Eddie’s formal introduction to the membership will come Membership Weekend.
I personally want to thank Chris Schleuder for stepping in as interim, and all the staff and work-trade, all who filled the gap while being down a person, and, of course, for their ongoing dedication to seeing CPC survive and thrive. And lastly to thank the search committee and board members for doing their part in this process of hiring a new ED and the onboarding to come.
Yours in service,
Romy Fitschen, CPC Board Chair ’22-’23
