Anne Marsh will step down as executive director of the Pine Tree Society in mid-February, the Bath-based nonprofit organization said in a news release.
Marsh has worked at Pine Tree Society for a total of 20 years, including eight as executive director.
The Pine Tree Society Board of Directors is engaged in a search to find Marsh’s replacement.
“Anne will surely be missed at the Society,” Board of Directors President Gerard Queally said. “There are few who are as dedicated to making the lives of the disabled more fulfilling. But I know that her positive impact will be continually felt by those served by the Society for many years to come.”
Pine Tree Society describes itself as a nonprofit organization that has been “committed to transforming the lives of Maine people with disabilities since 1936.”
“Very simply, I want to give myself the opportunity to explore other interests both personal and professional,” said Marsh. “Pine Tree Society is a strong, viable organization and I am proud of the successes and growth the organization has achieved under my leadership.”
Queally said Pine Tree Society is committed “to quickly finding a new executive director that can capitalize on the incredible accomplishments of Anne and lead the Society toward continued growth and helping people in Maine with disabilities lead richer lives.”
