Announcement- Departure of Cherise Charleswell, Appointment of Interim Executive Director

Dear Boundless Brilliance Community,

We hope this message finds you well. It is with a mix of sadness and gratitude that we announce the departure of Cherise Charleswell from her role as the Executive Director of Boundless Brilliance. Cherise has made the difficult decision to step down from the position in order to attend to urgent personal matters.

Since joining our organization in the fall of 2019, Cherise has been an instrumental leader, guiding us through a challenging time during the unprecedented circumstances brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic. Her dedication and perseverance enabled us to successfully transition our programming online and thrive. In addition, she guided us through the expansion of new chapters, established a robust Board of Directors and Advisory Council, and developed new curriculum and initiatives to support young STEM scholars.

We are immensely grateful for Cherise's invaluable contributions to Boundless Brilliance. Her commitment, vision, and tireless efforts have left a mark on our organization and both the college and elementary students that we serve. We will miss Cherise and all of her efforts to guide our organization.

In light of Cherise's departure, we are pleased to announce that Katie Wolber, our current Director of Programs, will be serving as the Interim Executive Director while we conduct a search for a new permanent Executive Director. Katie has been an integral part of our team, demonstrating exemplary dedication, creativity, and a deep understanding of our mission. Her expertise and passion make her an ideal candidate to lead us during this transitional period. Should you need to contact Katie, she can be reached at katiewolber@boundlessbrilliance.org.

On behalf of the entire Boundless Brilliance community, we extend our heartfelt wishes to Cherise as she embarks on this new chapter in her life. We are confident that her determination and passion will continue to drive her success, and we remain grateful for the lasting impact she has made on our organization.

As we move forward, we will initiate a comprehensive search for a new permanent Executive Director. We will keep you informed of any updates regarding the search process. We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining the momentum that Cherise has helped us build.
