Lisa Kolavennu, senior program director at Wellness House, has been named the organization’s new executive director.
Kolavennu was selected by the board of directors and a transition committee made up of board and staff members that formed after Jeannie Cella, chief executive officer, announced that she would retire at the end of this year. Kolavennu will begin serving in her new role on July 1, while Cella remains as CEO and president until Dec. 31.
