Yesterday was my last board meeting as the Executive Director and Head Coach of Episcopal Community Services. I appreciated the kind words and comments from the board, but let me be clear. Whatever success we have had it is because of the team I have been honored to work with and the commitment of each and every member of the board and staff and the support of our donors. The work of challenging poverty in the City of Philadelphia, of taking a transformational approach to the work, rather than maintaining an individual's status quo, requires a village. I am reminded of the quote. " to go fast, go alone, to go far, go together ". The work continues, the challenges remain, and I know that team ECS will continue to lead in this work. Our new Head Coach is an exceptional and experienced leader. Stay tuned for the announcement. ECS will continue to go far, impact lives, and drive change for the people we serve with your support.
To all, Thank You. I may be stepping away from the position, but never from the mission.
Coach
