Virtual Farewell Party for Outgoing Executive Director, LeeAnne Beres

Dear Earth Ministry/WAIPL community,

As you have heard, LeeAnne Beres, our beloved Executive Director, has announced that she is moving on to new ventures and her last day with us will be on August 31.

LeeAnne has been an outstanding Executive Director over the last 16 years. Her visionary leadership brought faithful advocacy into Earth Ministry’s mission, and she now leaves us well on our way to living out our 2020-2025 strategic plan. LeeAnne has poured her heart into this organization. Before she departs, let’s celebrate her with a heartfelt send-off!
