Amy Crawford Named Interim Director

The Yellow Springs Senior Center (YSSC) Board of Trustees has named Amy Crawford of Yellow Springs, as the Interim Executive Director for the organization. David Scott, who held the position for two years, recently retired to spend ‘treasured time’ with his 95-year old mother.

“I am pleased that Amy Crawford has agreed to be our Interim Director,” stated Board President Robert (Bob) Huston. “Her years of experience with our center, as well as being the coordinator of our Home Assistance Service Program, make her a good choice to head our organization through this period of transition.”

“Amy is highly respected in the Miami Township philanthropic senior community,” added former Director David Scott. The Board is confident that she will not only lead the Center through this transition but will help define the next level of the organization’s Strategic Planning.

“I am committed to this community and that’s why I’m here,” said Crawford. “I believe that serving the elders of Yellow Springs and Miami Township while providing stability for the organization is important. I’m honored to lend a hand as we determine how best to approach this new era of leadership at YSSC.”

While serving as the coordinator in the Home Assistance Program at YSSC, Crawford works in close collaboration with the Friends Care Community and Greene County Council on Aging. In addition, she is an Adjunct Faculty Instructor at Antioch University Midwest, where she teaches an Interpersonal Communications course in the Healthcare Consumer Advocacy Professional Certificate Program.

Crawford and Scott will work closely together to make the transition seamless for the staff and members of the Center. During David Scott’s leadership at YSSC, activities and programs increased and the Center made significant progress in developing plans for a new facility. Amy Crawford is committed to this continued growth.
