“Neighborhood House is an amazing place,” said Richard Cox. “Like many of us who wage a fight against poverty, violence and other urban issues, Neighborhood House has faced its share of challenges, especially in the past few years. No matter the test or adversity, I always felt we were all in it together as a Staff and Board of Directors. I am proud of what we have been able to accomplish and the successful futures we have helped build.”
Joel Brennan, President of Neighborhood House Board of Directors, said, “Richard has been a steadying presence and a tireless advocate for the Neighborhood House mission to build a strong community by strengthening individuals, families, and the neighborhood. He will be missed, but his successor will have a strong foundation to work from because of Rich- ard’s career at Neighborhood House.”
Cox will formally retire on April 25th, 2014. The Board of Directors at Neighborhood House has launched a search for a new Executive Director; an appointment is expected later this spring.
