It is with energy, rigour and care that Maria G. Centoni has held the role of Executive Director of the ESCC for the past two and a half years. We wish her inspiring projects and many, many happy moments on her journey going foreward!
A note from our exiting ED
After nearly 2.5 years of stewardship of the Executive Director role, l discerned it is my duty to create room for a different type of leadership.
The upcoming transition is rich in opportunities, key to the ESCC’s becoming. Its evolution and further contributions to the life-giving relationships and bridges it can facilitate building with and for our communities will be enriched by new perspectives in governance and management.
The revisiting of staffing and committee structures after a full year of implementation of our 2024-2027 Strategic Roadmap is an integral part of the ESCC’s journey forward. There is much being carefully considered by the Board! You will need to stay posted for developments!
I thank each of you for the dialogues, connections, and collaborations you personally afforded me and entrust to Providence the crossing of our paths!
Pace e bene to all!
