Last week I was talking on the phone with a potential board member for David’s Refuge who would bring great value to our organization. During our conversation I shared how blessed we are to have Kate Houck as our Executive Director. Without prompting, this person said,
“In all my years of working with nonprofits in the Syracuse area there have been two Executive Directors who I have greatly respected. The first is Clarence Jordan from the Rescue Mission and the second is Kate Houck!”
Once again I say, “How blessed we are to have Kate Houck as our Executive Director!”
This past Friday we celebrated Kate’s first year as our leader. She is loved by staff, volunteers, donors, business leaders, and the community. She is competent, confident, compassionate and caring, and committed to excellence. She lovingly and graciously took the reigns of leadership and has protected and promoted the mission of “Caring for the Caregiver.” She has grown our staff, increased the number of families served, opened new territories, and supported the Board of Directors. She is a great mom, wife, neighbor, and friend.
Once again I say, “How blessed we are to have Kate Houck as our Executive Director!”
