Thanks Christine! Welcome Denise!

​​I want to publicly thank Christine Guth for the ten years of service that she has given to Anabaptist Disabilities Network. She has truly been a driving force for the organization. Over the years she has worked under three executive directors and served two and a half years as ADN’s only staff person. Christine began volunteering in 2006 as ADN’s first associate and four years later assumed the role of program director, which she has carried since late 2010. ​

This past spring, Christine announced her readiness to move on to new projects in her life and to resign from her position with ADN. The board of directors and I accepted this decision with regret and with appreciation for her good work.

Now, after a Spirit-led search for the next program director for ADN, I am pleased and excited to announce that Denise Reesor of Goshen, Indiana, is joining us in the work of supporting Anabaptist congregations, families and persons touched by disabilities to nurture inclusive communities of faith. Look for Denise’s contributions to the website, blog and newsletter in the months to come.

Kathy Nofziger Yeakey is Executive Director for Anabaptist Disabilities Network.
