Dear Partners:
I hope this finds you well. I am writing to you with an update on the Executive Director transition at the Julian Grace Foundation. As you may know, Alison’s final day as the Executive Director will be on Friday, September 2, 2022. After six impactful years, the Julian Grace Foundation’s Board of Directors thanks Alison for her leadership and commitment to our mission.
The Board of Directors remains deeply committed to finding the ideal new leader for the Foundation, one who will guide us through these challenging times while co-developing and executing a strategic plan for the future. Until Alison’s successor is in place, it is critical that the work of Foundation continues with the ongoing commitment to you, our partners.
To that end, we are delighted to announce that Ernest Vasseur will serve as the Julian Grace Foundation’s Interim Executive Director beginning Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Most recently, Ernest served as the founding Executive Director of the Healthcare Foundation of Northern Lake County.
Ernest shared: I am honored to join the Julian Grace Foundation during this time of transition and to help continue its important mission. My time with the Foundation will give the Board an opportunity to select the right person to lead the Foundation into the future.
As Interim Executive Director, Ernest will closely partner with the board and staff to ensure our work continues, the mission advances, and we deliver a steadfast commitment to meet the needs of our partners until our new Executive Director is in place.
In partnership,
Jessica Sarowitz, Board President and Co-Founder
