Current sitting President and Executive Director, Connie Wiggins has announced her plans to retire, although she will remain with GCB through March 2016 to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

“As I transition to a new phase in my life, I plan to stay active in the community, enjoy the benefits of retirement, and will stay connected to all of the wonderful people who have been involved with and supported GCB,” said Wiggins. “I am so proud of what we accomplished over the past three decades. We have a strong and involved Board of Directors, a dedicated staff and an entire community of committed volunteers who support our work.  I know that the next President will have all of the tools, resources and support to ensure that GCB continues to help improve the quality of life in our community.”
