The board of directors of the Boys and Girls Club of Lenawee announced on Oct. 15 that Sara Herriman will be the club’s next Chief Executive Officer.  She has been the club’s Director of Community Relations and Development for the past six years, and has been interim CEO since last month.

Herriman has made Lenawee County her home for the past 21 years. She is a graduate of Central Michigan University and earned her MBA, specializing in leadership, at Spring Arbor University. She has spent most of her professional career in the world of nonprofit philanthropy and earned her Certified Fund Raising Executive designation in 2015.

Herriman said she is looking forward to continuing to share the club’s story.

“It is an incredible honor to serve BGCL in this new capacity,” she said in a news release. “I am passionate about our mission and the many ways we can continue to positively impact the lives of youth in our community. It takes a village, and I look forward to welcoming community members into our club to learn more about our important work.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Lenawee’s mission is “to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.”

The Boys & Girls Club of Lenawee opened its doors in Adrian in January 2001. Today the club serves nearly 1,000 members in 10 school districts and is a bus stop for students in Madison and Adrian schools. In October 2005, an extension unit was opened in Hudson that annually serves over 200 youth. The Boys and Girls Club of Lenawee provides a fun, safe and constructive environment for Lenawee youth in first through twelfth grades during out-of-school hours.
