Building Communities of Care 23 next seasoned leader in place to lead into the next chapter of success. Kathleen Jordan has spent the last 20 years of her professional career with Seven Hills preparing to lead as President & CEO. She brings a remarkable ability to design supports and service delivery systems that best serve the complexities of care for people with life challenges. She also brings a unique ability to build strong internal teams and external partnerships that support her commitment to populations in need. "I am thrilled to continue the amazing work of Seven Hills and to position our organization to meet the increasingly complex needs of the sector. e challenges have never been greater, but our team has never been stronger," said Jordan. For 70 years, Barbara Andersen, David Jordan, and our staff have always stayed mission-driven — it's WHY we have always done and will always do this work — Building Communities of Care where everyone can thrive. We're an advocacy agency. We serve people with disabilities and life challenges. It is incredibly important work, and we consistently bring together teams who believe in our WHY. Tosches enjoyed reminiscing about his time at Seven Hills. "I couldn't be prouder of my journey. e legacy that I've been part of has set Seven Hills apart from any other organization. I'm most proud of the fact that we always had our clients' best interests in mind. Whether buying a house for a group home or buying a new building to house a program, we always had our clients' needs as our guide." According to David Jordan, Seven Hills should find joy and pride in its accomplishments, but never be satisfied. He noted that, as a new leader takes control, the organization is at a moment when it will have to reinvent itself again. "I've been a steward of this place for a period of time, and now it's time to transition to new leadership," he said." I have great confidence in our future." "David is a passionate leader, a competent leader, and one that is tireless," Altomare said. "David is 24/7, seven days a week. Seven Hills was his mission. We were blessed to have David. We also gave David a conduit from which he could fulfill his mission in life. Now we look to ensure the future is as bright for those people we have yet to serve." "We know that thousands of lives rely on us, every day. We take that seriously. Our work is built on providing support in ways that mirror the support we would want for our family members," said Kathleen Jordan. "For 70 years we have done that and done it well. I can't wait to see what the next 70 brings to this incredible agency." n
