As Interim Executive Director, Rohrs will continue leading Family Crisis Centers in carrying out its mission. She will help ensure the continued success of the agency in maintaining quality programs and services for people in need.
“The mission of Family Crisis Centers is one I hold dear. It has been a great privilege to work at FCC these past seven years, and I look forward to serving the agency in this new interim role,” Jessica Rohrs said.
The Board of Directors will conduct a search for a new Executive Director in the coming months.
