FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Executive Director Aaron Lorenz steps down
Dear La Peña Community,
It is with great regret that I must step down as Executive Director. We have come to the realization that the ongoing challenges that La Peña faces exceed my skills and experience. I will continue to support the center in any way that I am able through the coming transition.
I am enormously grateful to all of you for our shared commitment to La Peña’s mission and our belief that this center is greater than the individuals who comprise it. I encourage you to support the center in this time of change and to continue to provide the sense of continuity and purpose, which has been La Peña’s hallmark for so many years.
In Solidarity,
Aaron Lorenz
Statement from La Peña’s Board:
We are saddened to hear of Aaron’s departure. In the year that he has been here, La Peña has witnessed a revitalization of our programming as well as improvements to the facilities. Aaron has also worked diligently to improve our financial footing during these challenging economic times.
The board of directors wishes Aaron well and deeply appreciate his contributions to the center.
Good luck, Aaron!
