IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
In April 2021, L'Arche Wavecrest was blessed that Melissa Mohr Verstegen accepted the position of Community Leader/Executive Director. During her time with L'Arche Wavecrest, many, many enhancements have been made to community life and many agency and wider community relationships have been restored and deepened. The organization welcomed these vibrant transformations and grew in the realization of how necessary they were.
Melissa has recently shared with the community her desire to focus more on "community life," recognizing that someone more experienced would best lead the community forward in fundraising and outreach efforts." Once a new Executive Director is hired, Melissa will work as part of the Leadership Team in the newly created role as "Leader of Community Life."
