FERNDALE –
Affirmations Community Center is still searching for an executive director. Last month, the search committee hosted a first round of potential candidates for the job onsite at Affirmations, but the board has decided to continue looking.
The search committee will still use the services of Evergreen Executive Search, an independent national firm hired to support the work of the committee.
"Both the board and the search committee have made a commitment to invest the time and energy necessary in finding the right candidate to lead Affirmations forward," said Mary Rose MacMillan, the board president.
"We spent a great deal of time establishing our criteria for a capable executive director and are seeking a person who meets or exceeds those standards," she said. "We have a responsibility to our community to obtain a strong, capable and dynamic leader. Given that we have a capable interim executive director in Kevin Howley, and a dedicated search committee, we are confident that with continued effort we will find the right person to lead Affirmations to a successful future."
Affirmations is Metro Detroit's community center for LGBTs and their allies. Open since 1989, Affirmations provides a welcoming space where people of all sexual orientations, gender identities/expressions and cultures can find support and unconditional acceptance, and where they can learn, grow, socialize, and have fun.
