The Wesleyan’s President and CEO Mark Lenhard announced his resignation Friday, September 30.

“The reason is both personal and professional”, Lenhard explained in his video announcement to teammates, residents and family members. “As my wife and I move into the next season of our lives as ‘empty-nesters’ and considered our next steps, I was contacted by a search firm to consider a President/CEO role for a faith-based, non-profit organization serving seniors in the Northeast. This relocation will bring us closer to our extended family. I will be completing my service to The Wesleyan Friday, October 21.”

Lenhard expressed his appreciation to all who have been a part of his five years with The Wesleyan. “To the residents, I would like to say thank you for sharing your home with me. To my fellow teammates, I cannot tell you how much you have shaped who I am and I have incredible faith in your continued calling to serve in this ministry. Our Board of Trustees’ high level of engagement is only matched by their passion and compassion for The Wesleyan and its mission of service. And, to our donors, constituents and community leaders, please know the incredible gift to Georgetown that The Wesleyan has been for 60 years and will continue to be as it recommits itself to the achievement of abundant life for all those that we serve and for those with whom we serve. Thank you and God bless you.”

Bethany Sisneroz, The Wesleyan’s Chief Operations Officer has been appointed Interim President and CEO. Sisneroz has worked for The Wesleyan for three years and is intimately familiar with the organization’s operations and relationships.
