Looking Swiftly Ahead:
A Letter from the Interim Executive Director
Dear Swift Youth Foundation Community,
Last week I assumed the position of Interim Executive Director to help sustain the growth Swift has enjoyed during the five-year tenure of outgoing Executive Director, Kaylie Medansky. As a longtime volunteer, donor, and staff, I am fully dedicated to our mission to create the path from present to potential through peer mentor relationships. We are so grateful for Kaylie’s service to the organization. Her leadership has been both significant and impactful. We wish Kaylie success in her future endeavors and we are excited to have her continued support. Furthermore, I feel we would be remiss without saying thank you in the way Swift knows best…
“WE are proud of YOU, say WE are proud of YOU! HEY!” (Feel free to repeat a few times for emphasis)
This transition comes at an exciting time for the organization. Over the past few years, Swift has grown significantly by adding staff, increasing programs and services, and producing a greater impact within the community. Our board has begun the search for the next Executive Director, and expects to have the position filled during the first quarter of 2020.
I look forward to stewarding Swift through this transition and hopefully onwards as the full-time Executive Director. It is my goal to grow the organization to continue to serve our local community. This means more after-school program sites, more volunteer mentorship opportunities, and yes, hopefully more sessions of Camp Swift in the future. For this goal to become reality, we will need your continued support. I look forward to working together to support Arizona youth.
Fun is just the start,
Mike Evans
