An employee of the Jefferson Area Board for Aging (JABA) has been running the organization since April and this week became the leader outright.
“The JABA Board of Directors met for a special session [on July 7] and unanimously named Christina Evans as the organization’s Chief Executive Officer,” said Dick Gibson, chair of JABA’s Board of Directors. “Christina willingly stepped into the CEO interim role in April and, in a short period, has proven to be the leader JABA needs to move forward.”
Earlier this year, Judith Selzer was named as the replacement for Marta Keene who served as CEO for many years before retiring. Selzer lasted less than three months in the position and it is not listed on her LinkedIn profile.
Evans called it an honor to take over the role.
“Over the past five years at JABA, I’ve been proud to reflect the values that guide our work and make this organization so impactful,” Evans said “I’m excited for the opportunity to further advance JABA’s mission throughout the community.”
This is JABA’s 50th anniversary. One of their new initiatives this year is a new podcast which you can listen to here.
