Kathryn Jans Leaving after 14 Years of Leadership at FaithTrust Institute
FaithTrust Institute’s Executive Director, Rev. Kathryn Jans, is leaving FaithTrust Institute July 9, 2010, to fulfill a career opportunity to address the economics of aging for women, specifically the inequality in housing and services. Kathryn joined FaithTrust Institute in 1996 as Associate Director for Development and was appointed as Executive Director in 2000 by the Board of Directors.
Kathryn will continue to serve FaithTrust Institute in a volunteer advisory capacity.
“Rev. Jans has devoted herself to guiding FaithTrust Institute and to advancing our work of helping women and children find hope and healing from abuse,” said Rev. Dr. Marie M. Fortune, Founder and Senior Analyst, FaithTrust Institute. “We thank her for her 14 years of dedicated service and are grateful for her excellent leadership,” stated Thom Chu, Board President, FaithTrust Institute.
Jane Fredricksen, FaithTrust Institute’s current Director of Development and Marketing, will serve as the Interim Managing Director.
So proud of Kathryn Jans' work among us!
