WHAT'S NEW
Meet IVC’s New Executive Director Mary McGinnity
I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am honored to be the new Executive Director for IVC as of January 11, 2010. After years of dedicated and extraordinary service, Suzanne Geaney, the previous Executive Director, decided to enter a time of renewal and the pursuit of new enterprises. I'm thrilled to have this opportunity to lead and serve IVC along with a talented staff and deeply dedicated Board of Directors. Having served IVC in various capacities over the past several years, I am excited to be a part of such a valuable and dynamic organization that makes a tremendous difference in the lives of so many. This amazing organization truly brings the heart of the Gospel and the best of the Jesuit tradition of service to others to life each day.
