On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am pleased to announce that Chad Adams has been hired as our Chief Executive Officer. Chad will start in his role with the Partnership on June 13, 2019.
Chad comes to the Partnership with significant experience in the public sector with a focus on economic and community development.

I look forward to working with the SWMHP staff and board to continue the success of SWMHP and building upon the many opportunities and partnerships that exist throughout the region and state.”
