TRAVERSE CITY — The Traverse Bay Children’s Advocacy Center’s new executive director has an easy transition. That’s because she’s been serving as the center’s interim director since former leader Brooke Nettz left in May.
The CAC works to identify, treat and prevent sexual and physical child abuse.
Sue Bolde started volunteering at the center as a grant writer in 2011, and in 2013 was hired part-time as fund development coordinator before she stepped into the leadership role.
“I consider it an honor to be given the opportunity to lead the center because of its humanitarian mission to protect children from abuse,” Bolde said.
She’s previously worked as a counselor at Leland Public Schools and as the Leelanau Township Community Foundation’s executive director.
Jayne Mohr, the CAC’s board chair, said Bolde did an “exceptional job” serving in the interim and she’s happy to have her in a more permanent position.
“She really reached out to strengthen our relationships with community partners, continues to advocate for fundraising for us, and most importantly is passionate about keeping our children safe in our community,” Mohr said.
The CAC serves families in Grand Traverse and Leelanau counties and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians, and officials plan to expand services to Antrim, Benzie and Kalkaska counties in the near future.
They’re also in the process of launching a new five-county prevention initiative in collaboration with the Grand Traverse Regional Community Foundation.
“Sue’s leadership is really helping us position ourselves to better meet the needs and the demands of the future,” Mohr said.
