Welcome New Executive Director, Kevin Ward
“It is with confidence in our mission, excitement for our future, and gratitude for our community that I share the news of a new leader for Interfaith Outreach,” said Board Chair Rima Torgerson. “We are so pleased to welcome Kevin Ward as the next Executive Director. Kevin is a proven collaborator and relationship builder with a passion for our work. His leadership will enhance Interfaith Outreach’s ability to deliver on our mission and honor our founding values while adapting to changing community needs. Founder & Executive Director Emerita LaDonna Hoy frequently reminds us about the gift of just in time miracles, and we believe that Kevin is our just in time successor — he is just the right person at just the right time.”
LaDonna Hoy adds, “Along with his impressive record of accomplishments and experience as a successful corporate and nonprofit leader, Kevin brings a grace, grit, goodness and lived wisdom to his new role, the hallmark of an authentic leader and a blessing for our journey into the days and years ahead. A truly heartfelt welcome, Kevin, from me, from all of us at Interfaith, and from a community that will never cease to amaze you.”
Kevin brings to Interfaith a broad and outstanding record of service that includes more than two decades of experience in business, ministry, non-profit leadership, association management, coaching and executive leadership. He has held leadership positions at Fortune 500 companies and is the founder of The Forward Group, an executive coaching and leadership development company. Most recently, his leadership in a faith-based nonprofit serving teens and families resulted in new partnership growth. Lived experience and studies in human potential and divinity inform our new leader, whose personal motto is, “A life of service is a life worth living.”
