ED Transition
Executive Director Tammy Mello will be departing CLM at the end of December. She will join the Key Program as President on January 10.
The Board has established a search committee and is committed to keeping the important initiatives that affect members at the forefront throughout this transition and going forward. We are thankful to have Tammy’s partnership as we conduct the search for her successor and while no one can ever take her place, are confident we will find CLM’s next leader in due time.
