It is with happiness and regret that we announce the departure of Jessica Dale, Director of Operations at Parenting Place. Jessica recently resigned her post after three years of exemplary service to Parenting Place. She has moved back to California to be closer to family and to return to graduate school. Jessica, you will be missed!
While she has some pretty big shoes to fill, Sue Schnitzer recently came on board as our new Director of Operations at Parenting Place. Sue is a long-time resident of Boulder who many of you may know because of her music programs for kids. We would like to welcome Sue to our Parenting Place family with open arms! Be sure to introduce yourself to her the next time you're at the Boulder offices. |
