![]() ![]() James Anthony Hoagland Board of Directors, Chair If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to me or Jillian directly. ![]() Please join me in welcoming Jillian to her new role as Executive Director. Together, we will continue to improve the day-to-day operations and strategic initiatives that will ensure the success of our mission to provide a safe home for people who have nowhere to live during a medical crisis or at end of life,” Jillian affirms. “I look forward to settling into the role and working with the staff, Board of Directors, and community partners. For the last three months she has led the organization as Acting Executive Director. Olmsted joined The INN Between as a volunteer, was then hired in early 2017, and has served in several roles including Event and Outreach Coordinator, Volunteer Coordinator, HR Director and Operations Director, and Assistant Executive Director. When I learned that The INN Between’s mission was to offer this same care and dignity at end of life for people experiencing homelessness, I had to get involved.” “I was so impressed with the level of care they received and the dignity they experienced by dying in their own homes. “I first became involved as a volunteer after experiencing the deaths of several close family members receiving hospice care,” she recalls. Many of you will already be familiar with Jillian, whose relationship with The INN Between dates back to the early days of its founding. So it is with great pleasure that I announce Jillian Olmsted as the new Executive Director of The INN Between, effective immediately. In the end, the entire board agreed that Jillian’s combination of executive and operational skills, her understanding of the unique needs of the population we serve, and her compassionate approach to leadership and workplace culture made her the clear candidate of choice. We received many applications for this position, and we interviewed several outstanding candidates. The board moved to appoint long time employee Jillian Olmsted to the role of Acting Executive Director and at the same time, to begin the search for the next person to fill the Executive Director role. In December, Jeanie announced her retirement. The board worked diligently with Jeanie on the initiatives needed to ensure the continued operational and financial success of The INN Between, and Jeanie did an outstanding job during this time of transition. Our first Executive Director moved on to other pursuits in May and was succeeded by then Director of Development and Finance Jeanie Ashby as Interim Executive Director. At the beginning of the year, I began my term as chair of the Board of Directors. ![]() The Board of Directors of The INN Between appoints new Executive DirectorĪs you may recall, last year was a time of significant change in the leadership of The INN Between. ![]()
