With gratitude for her many contributions, the Board of Bethesda Green announces that our Executive Director, Veronique Marier, will be departing by year-end. We will miss Veronique’s spirit, energy and her commitment to Bethesda Green and the community that we are part of.
Veronique has worked tirelessly as our leader for the past four years, strengthening the organization financially and programmatically. The Board thanks Veronique and is planning a more public celebration of her with Bethesda Green’s partners. “Veronique has lead Bethesda Green into a new era, building an organization that is having a real impact on the community it seeks to support. We will miss her leadership but know she is leaving the organization stronger than when she arrived”, said Jane Brooks Horn, Chair of the Board of Directors.
As Bethesda Green celebrates its 10-year anniversary, we are optimistic about the future, in large part because of the many wonderful people and organizations, across the business, public and non-profit sectors that we work with.
While the Board begins its search for our next Executive Director, we are grateful that Veronique has offered to remain in her role through the end of 2018.
For questions, please contact the Board search committee at bethesdagreensearch@gmail.com. The search for the new Executive Director is underway and a full job description can be found here.
