Missed the Boat welcomes two new staff members.
It’s finally happened, folks. In addition to Erika Zabinski’s role as Managing Director, we’re able to provide two small positions that allow ongoing strategic development and operations management throughout the year, rather than on a haphazard volunteer basis. This is a huge step for Missed the Boat! Please welcome Samantha Wend Vargo as Operations and Events Director, and Mary Shaffer as Development and Communications Director.
These new directors are skilled strategists who will focus particular energy on developing a strategic plan for Missed the Boat and building systems and structures to implement it, as well as building new financial resources to support Missed the Boat’s core operations and work towards future programming goals. Through proactive communication, a mind for finance, systems, organizations, and capacity building, and a heart and soul for advocating passionately in service of the mission and vision of the organization, the directors strive to embody the ideals of servant leadership and charismatically shine light on Missed the Boat as a Catholic community theater worthy of sustained support and interest from a broad group of patrons, donors, and allies.
