Nathan stated, “More than 14 years ago, I was assigned to monitor agreements LEADS held with Licking County Job and Family Services. I was immediately impressed by the compassion of staff toward customers, the diverse array of services available to the community, and LEADS’ sound management and fiscal practices. Over the years, I have been fortunate enough to work with several LEADS staff and Trustees on a variety of community projects. It is an absolute pleasure to be considered to join the LEADS team. I am excited about the opportunity to work with the talented and dedicated staff and Trustees to continue the tradition of success that LEADS is known for.”
