State Chair: Amanda Bocik
*PALS has hired a new leader; her name is Marianne Van Winkle, and we have some information about her below. This message is from our Board Chair.
"I am very excited to introduce Marianne Van Winkle as the new Executive Director for People and Animal Learning Services (PALS)! She is an Indiana native and has an extensive background working with youth and nonprofit groups around the world. When I first met Marianne, I was particularly struck by her connectedness to people and love of telling stories. She is creative, enjoys building relationships, and a great communicator. I know she will be a wonderful addition to our team!"
- Susie Carter, PALS Board Chair
More About Marianne:
Marianne's love of people and their stories first led her to a career in the film and television industry. That same love of people fueled Marianne's desire to serve and lead communities through nonprofit management. Marianne earned a Bachelor's degree in Media Communications from Asbury University and a Master's degree from Asbury Theological Seminary. She is passionate about family, friends, art, cultures, film, baking, the outdoors, and is amazed by the power and compassion of horses.
Congratulations PALS!
