“We are happy to announce this transition. With her expertise in mental health and nonprofit management as well as a supportive and collaborative leadership style, Amanda is the right person to move forward the organization’s current work and future initiatives,” says Derek Ortner, the Network’s board chair.

Amanda has worked for the organization for 6 years and has held the Associate Director role since 2021. She is a passionate advocate for equity, social justice, and the health and wellbeing of our rural community.

Jen leaves the Network after 17 years of service, 16 of those as executive director.  “Jen has expertly led the organization through many community and national crises, while ensuring we serve our neighbors in need. We would not be the organization we are today without her leadership and vision,” shared Ortner.

Please join us in congratulating Amanda on this exciting news! Read more about these ladies’ accomplishments and this role transition in our press release
