The Light House, a longstanding provider of essential services to the community, is undergoing a leadership change as Heather Cassity, the Executive Director, announced her resignation, effective February 2024. After seven dedicated years with the Light House, two as Executive Director, Heather leaves behind a legacy of commitment and compassion.
During her tenure, Heather worked tirelessly alongside staff, volunteers, supporters, and community partners. Her dedication helped address diverse community needs, particularly advocating for the unhoused during the pandemic and housing shortage.
Heather expressed gratitude for her time at The Light House, confident that its strong foundation, built on 30 years of community support, will continue to provide hope and belonging.
The Board of Directors extended their appreciation to Heather for her leadership. “Her advocacy and creativity have significantly impacted the organization. The board wishes her success in her new nonprofit consulting venture.”
To ensure a seamless transition, Jenny Crawford has been appointed Interim Executive Director. Jenny, with extensive nonprofit experience, has been a senior staff member since 2017. She aims to uphold The Light House’s legacy as a national model of community support.
