RALC welcomes Dr. Patricia Thomson as the new Executive Director. She comes to RALC with over 25+ years of nonprofit executive-level experience. Patricia is excited to lend her skills to continue RALC's growth and expand its impact on the community. "I'm looking forward to partnering with the staff, volunteers, donors, and board to enhance our services and expand our reach. More than ever, there is a great need for English-literacy skills and RALC is here to provide a very valuable service to the health and welfare of the community," says Patricia. Board President, Rane Burress shared "as much as we are saddened to see Sonali Patnaik accept another opportunity, we are looking forward to working with Patricia. I believe I can speak for the Board of Directors when I say we are excited to experience Patricia's leadership as the Executive Director as she continues to grow RALC in the service of our community." |
