Letter from the President 2025

I am concerned that we might not be able to handle our success. That’s the message I delivered to you as I paraphrased Doug Nelson’s hero former Green Bay Packer coach Mike McCarthy at the beginning of 2023.

Today, I ask you this question. How did we do? As Tom Cruise said during the trial in one of the all-time great movies A Few Good Men, “We’ll get back to that later.” Tammy Modic’s resignation, Abbey Dall coming on board as our new Executive Director, staff departures, staff disappointments, the hiring of new staff plus many transitions and challenges made for an interesting year.

We came into 2023 in the best financial position NATH Frederick Place has ever seen. The Endowment grew. Donations were strong. Our board was contributing their time and talent at record levels.

​

As the year progressed Abbey provided us with good ideas and new resources for revenues. Her contacts and connections provided us solid growth. The year finished very strong. The challenges of much more diverse potential residents will be one of our biggest obstacles for this new year and beyond. It’s turning into a new world. They are facing many issues as they call and knock on our door for assistance.

Our staff and board must work hard to nurture our many 13-year relationships with our community and look for new supporters and be sure we let them know how much we appreciate them. As board members please work hard to strengthen our relationships in addition to supporting Abbey.

Let’s make 2024 a great year. Oh by the way our friend Tom Cruise? Let’s get back to that. I ask you this. How do you think we handled our success? Only YOU have that answer.

​

My message to the board is "Thank You" for your hard work and dedication to our NATH mission.  I honestly can say you are the finest group of people I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

​

Last but certainly not least is our outstanding staff and Frederick Place. The compassion and dedication of our wonderful house staff we are truly gifted.  Our board owes you a great deal of thanks.

To each of you, I share what Jesus said; "Well done my good and faithful servants".
