NESCO Executive Director, Cheryl Batterman, Appointed Dane County AAA Manager
North/Eastside Senior Coalition Executive Director, Cheryl Batterman, has accepted the position of Area Agency on Aging Manager.
Cheryl's last day with NESCO is January 20th.
"This was an extremely difficult decision for me as I have felt totally supported and deeply appreciated by NESCO’s Board, Committee, and staff members. Until the AAA Manager position came available, I planned to remain at NESCO until my retirement. However, when I separated from the Air Force, I promised myself if a government level job opportunity presented itself to me—and it was a good fit to me, and challenging to my skills—I would throw my hat in the ring. This was the case with the AAA Manager position."
The board of Directors appointed Jim Krueger as NESCO’s Interim Executive Director (effective 21 January 2012).
