After nearly a decade at the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, Executive Director Lori Salganicoff has decided to move on to explore the next chapter of her life. Lori has been a transformational leader during her time with us. She has added a new level of professionalism to the organization, worked with neighbors to preserve significant historic buildings, added robust programming, ensured financial stability, and so much more. We sincerely appreciate her impactful contributions to our organization. She will continue to serve as Executive Director until the end of the year, ensuring a smooth transition with her successor.
Fortunately, Lori has given the Board ample time to conduct a rigorous search for her successor. The entire Board is committed to engaging in a search for a leader who will advance our mission of preserving the historical, architectural, and cultural resources, as well as the open spaces that define the character of Chestnut Hill and the surrounding communities in the Wissahickon watershed.
We have begun the search for our next Executive Director and will support the transition process to ensure continuity and stability. Judee von Seldeneck, a generous supporter of the Chestnut Hill Conservancy, has graciously agreed to advise the Conservancy on this transition informally. She has helped identify executive search firms specializing in nonprofit positions, one of which will be chosen and announced shortly.
First Vice President Bill Webster and I will chair the Search Committee. We plan to announce the opening in early July and ideally make an offer by September or October to ensure at least a month of overlap. The selection process will be thorough, and the Board is committed to finding a leader who will build on the organization’s legacy and continue to advance our missions.
Please join me in thanking Lori for her contributions to the Conservancy. We will celebrate and remember her achievements before she departs.
Thank you in advance for your support as we undergo this transition. If you have any questions or wish to discuss this further, please contact me at Eileen@CHConservancy.Org.
Best regards,
Eileen Javers
President, Board of Directors
