Dear Joslyn Center Members & Supporters,

I am delighted to share some wonderful news with you. The Board of Directors has hired John Brennan as the new Executive Director of the Joslyn Center, beginning May 21, 2026.

John brings a heartfelt commitment to community, a strong background in private sector leadership, and a genuine passion for supporting older adults. We believe he will be a warm, engaging, and inspiring presence here at the Center.

The Joslyn Center thrives because of you — your participation, your energy, and your belief in what we create together. With John joining us, we look forward to:

• Growing programs that support healthy aging
• Strengthening the sense of belonging that defines our Center
• Expanding opportunities for connection, creativity, and wellness
• Continuing to build a welcoming, vibrant community for all

In the coming weeks, we will be hosting an opportunity for members to meet John in person at the Coffee with the Board on May 6^th at 8:30 – 9:30 am prior to his start date. Please note the earlier start time to allow more members to participate in the meet and greet opportunity.

Your presence, your kindness, and your ongoing support make the Joslyn Center a place where people feel seen, valued, and connected. We are excited to begin this new chapter with you and with John.

Warmest regards,

Barbara Mitchell

President, Board of Directors

The Joslyn Center
