KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – There has been a change of leadership at one of Lake County’s largest nonprofit organizations.

The Lake Family Resource Center Board of Directors announced Friday that it has appointed Lisa Morrow as the nonprofit’s interim executive director.

She succeeds Jennifer Dodd, who had led the organization since 2016, following the retirement of longtime executive director Gloria Flaherty.

Morrow has been with the organization since its inception and has served as the organization’s director of finance and operations for more than a decade.

The board said it intends to conduct a thorough recruitment for the permanent post of executive director and anticipates the position to be filled within 6 months.

Michele Meek, Lake Family Resource Center’s human resources director, will serve as primary contact for the recruitment and vetting, the board reported.

The nonprofit did not give details on Dodd’s departure, which appeared to have occurred on Thursday based on an automated email response Lake County News received after emailing Dodd about an announcement she had sent out earlier in the day regarding the Kelseyville Olive Festival.

Earlier this month, Dodd had announced the cancellation of Lake Family Resource Center’s popular Wine and Chocolate fundraiser suddenly and on short notice, which generated considerable negative comment on social media.

The nonprofit said Friday that Wine and Chocolate will return next February.

The Friday announcement said Lake Family Resource Center’s board and staff appreciate the support of the Lake County community during this transition and look forward to continuing to provide services supporting local families.

Lake Family Resource Center’s next event will be the Kelseyville Olive Festival to be held at Chacewater Winery and Olive Mill from 11 am. to 5 p.m. Sunday, April 29.
