Announcing The Sophia Way's new Executive Director

A Note from The Sophia Way’s Board Chair:

Greetings!

On behalf of the Board and Staff at The Sophia Way, I am very happy to announce that we have hired Angela Murray as our new Executive Director.

After a thorough search, Angela rose to the top with her experience in nonprofit management, fundraising, board development and volunteer engagement. Angela brings not only the experience, but the energy and enthusiasm, necessary to continue to advance the mission of The Sophia Way.

Angela comes to The Sophia Way after serving as the executive director of the Volunteer Center of Whatcom County, where she was recognized for her success facilitating board, staff and community partners working together in a strategic initiative to collaboratively solve community challenges through volunteerism, donor engagement and partnership with key stakeholders. She was also recognized with the 2014 Community Achievement Award for her efforts in the local community.

With our new leader, we are eager to move forward, serving women experiencing homelessness in our community and strengthening the partnerships with our local providers, funders, and the many individuals and groups who actively support our programs. Angela will start in her role on April 14. Rae Levine, Interim Executive Director, will be working closely with the staff, board and Angela to ensure a smooth transition.
Please join me in welcoming Angela to our Eastside community. More details to follow on a welcoming meet-and-greet with Angela.
Finally I want to thank Rae Levine for her leadership as Interim Executive Director. She has been invaluable in assisting us through this time period and putting us in a strong position to move forward with our mission.
Thank you for your ongoing support of and collaboration with The Sophia Way.

Lynn Engel, Board Chair
