President & CEO of Children's Fund Resigns

SAN BERNARDINO>> After four years as part of the leadership team and 18 months serving as President & CEO, Stacy Iverson has resigned from her position at Children’s Fund, a 30-year old nonprofit serving vulnerable children throughout San Bernardino County. Iverson has spent more than 20 years of her career improving the lives of children. She worked for the San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools and First 5 San Bernardino prior to Children’s Fund. Iverson is originally from Utah, where both her parents and brothers still live. Her son, Brady, also moved to Utah last year and her daughter has recently been accepted to the University of Utah. “Our work serves as a constant reminder of the value of family. We help thousands of children who long for a permanent family, who dream of living in a home surrounded by people who love and care for them,” Iverson said. “Family is not something to be taken for granted. That is why I know in my heart it’s time to move back home to be closer to my family.” Because of Iverson’s unwavering commitment to giving children a brighter future, her resignation was a very difficult decision for her. Children’s Fund supports strengthening families and that is the reason she is leaving. Right now, her family needs her support and she is fulfilling that need. "While the Children's Fund board and staff will definitely miss Stacy's leadership, we are blessed that through her work she leaves this organization healthy and strong,” states Neal Waner, the Chair of Children’s Fund Board of Directors. “She has built a quality team and put us in a position of strength, enabling us to attract a high caliber CEO to continue the important work of Children's Fund." The Board of Directors has appointed Immediate Past Chair, Lee Jackman, to serve as Interim CEO and take the helm upon Stacy’s departure at the end of April. “Lee’s professional background, skill set, and passion for Children’s Fund make her the perfect individual to maintain stability of our operations, programs and staff while the Search Committee begins their work,” Waner said.
