Over the past year the Hancock Center has been hard at work providing quality and innovative mental health services to our community, while reflecting on its past and envisioning the future. I have had the pleasure to serve as Board President during this time, it has been a true honor.

In early March, 2016 the American Dance Therapy Association and the Hancock Center hosted Peter Norlin and Judith Fischer for a two-day visioning retreat. At the retreat, the HC Board of Directors and staff collectively decided that to navigate the next phase of Hancock Center development, we would hire a new Executive Director with expertise in philanthropy and non-profit leadership. Over the following seven months an Executive Director search committee was formed and a nation-wide search launched. Paul Manning joined us in November 2016 as Executive Director, welcome Paul!

I would like to personally thank Rena Kornblum for her courageous and dedicated leadership functioning as the Executive Director for the past decade. We also have had board members retire in 2016 whom we would like to thank for their service. Mary Thurrell and Deborah Thomas have been Hancock Center’s longest serving Board Members. Mary’s contributions, leadership, and sense of humor will be missed. Debby’s vision and leadership is the foundation of all of the Hancock Center. Thank you Mary & Debby!

One of the images that emerged from our two-day retreat was that of a strong tree. As I regretfully step out of the role of Board President I am reminded of that metaphor. Hancock Center has strong roots and history, and yet fresh branches and leaves reach and grow each new year. Here’s to strong roots and healthy growth in 2017!

Best Wishes, Amy Thomas, LPC, NCC2016 Board President

FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

FROM THE DIREcTOR Dear Friends,

I am excited to be named the third Executive Director of the Hancock Center For Dance/Movement Therapy since its founding in 1983. It is a privilege to be serving an organization dedicated to making a positive impact on those that need us the most. This past year also marks two significant transitions of our leadership. Founder, Debby Thomas, retired from our Board of Directors after being our Founder and serving as the Executive Director until Rena Kornblum began as our Executive Director in 2005. Debby remains engaged and in touch with the activities of the Hancock Center even though she no longer serves on the board; and Rena continues to lead the In-School Violence Prevention and Therapy Program as a staff therapist. I am thankful to have their support and insight as we transition to an era of new growth for the Hancock Center that builds upon the strong foundation previously established.

As we move forward, we will be sharing a new strategic initiative that we want all of you to be part of developing. It’s roots can be traced to the visioning retreat in which our volunteer leadership and staff engaged during their March 2016 retreat. However, its leaves and branches will be recognized from what each of you contribute in 2017 and beyond. We invite you to be part of the exciting future of the Hancock Center for Dance/Movement Therapy.

Sincerely,

Paul ManningExecutive Director

Debby Thomas E.D. 1983-2004
