Board of Trustees Announces New CEO for Carpenter Place
Lexa, Cory, and Michelle Long
The Board of Trustees announces the appointment of Cory Long to the CEO position. Cory and his wife, Michelle, have a daughter Lexa who will be in high school next fall.
Cory has experience in family businesses, youth ministry, and in child care at the Children’s Home of Lubbock and Albuquerque Christian Children’s Home. He has most recently been the Director of Development for New Mexico Christian Children’s Home.
Cory will arrive in mid-May, overlapping for a time of orientation with former director, Shellee Morrison, who is retiring to help her husband in his photography business and also indulge in some serious grandmothering.
The search committee was impressed by Cory’s experience in fundraising, not only his easy rapport with longtime donors, but his creative ideas for reaching younger people, developing the next generation of Carpenter Place supporters. Steve Clark, Board chairman states, “Cory brings a unique set of experiences and skills to this position, along with a real heart for serving children and families.”
