Since joining the LGBT Community Center in November as our first Executive Director, Donna Rose has been a tireless advocate for the center and its constituents throughout central Pennsylvania. Because of her obvious passion, her excellent public-speaking skills, and her media-relations expertise, she has increased the visibility of the center, created a significant amount of good will in the community and inspired people to reach for their best authentic selves.

While Donna firmly shares the strategic goals of the Center and her work over the past several months has laid firm groundwork for building important alliances within and outside of the LGBT community, differences over how to meet those shared goals and other considerations have brought us to the conclusion that an amicable termination of our formal relationship is in everyone's best interest.  Donna's last official day as the Executive Director at the Center will be Friday, March 18.

Donna has offered to help the Center through this latest transition, and the board of directors is grateful for the service she that she has provided during her time here. We wish her all the best as she moves toward the next phase of her extraordinary journey.
