The best beginnings go on to the next stage! Our Founder/ED has announced her transition out of the role in spring 2025. Read more here. We'll be posting the position description for the person to lead us into the next phase of impact, bringing ease and equity to the housing search journey here.
Change is Ahead: Founding and leading Housing Navigator Massachusetts, Inc has been a gratifying, humbling, and fascinating experience usually all at the same time! I will be forever proud of what our collective hard work makes possible. I’ve also known that at some point, I would want to move on to the next thing. Today, I’m announcing that I’ve decided to start my transition out of the ED role. The Board has been working with me to ensure there’s a smooth process that, most of all, will maintain the quality people deserve and expect from our tools and organization. What happens next for Navigator? The Navigator Board will be working with Koya Partners/Diversified Search Group to find the next leader. There is a great team at Navigator, strong balance sheet, and a solid organizational underpinning (proud of that too!) I will be in the ED role until early spring, 2025 to keep all systems running smoothly and have some overlap with the new ED. What happens next for me? For 15 years, I consulted to nonprofits and the public sector. I honestly miss it. After a travel break, I’ll return to that role bringing in a whole new set of learnings from the last 7+ years leading a social impact tech venture. So no changes just yet. I’ll be right here for the next several months. Plus, I look forward to continuing to work alongside many of you. Finally, it's Thursday afterall...why not a look back??? Here's the first mock-up for a mapped search on Housing Navigator c. 2018. Plenty has changed (whoa, orange!). And also today's mission and commitment to ease and access tie right back to those earliest days. I look forward to supporting the next phase and next leader of Housing Navigator MA!
