Del-Mar-Va taps Atlanta DFS as SE

[shortridge]

Del-Mar-Va Council just sent this announcement out (slightly edited).

 

After careful consideration by the Scout Executive selection committee, Council President Glenn Moore is proud to announce the selection of Jason Pierce, Director of Field Service, Atlanta Area Council, as the new Scout Executive, CEO for the Del-Mar-Va Council. He will officially begin his service with the council on September 1. Jason has served the BSA for 18 years as a Scouting professional and has a strong record of success in membership growth, fundraising and community development. Scouting has been a significant part of Jason's life. He is an Eagle Scout and a recipient of the Order of the Arrow Vigil honor. We are excited about the experience and enthusiasm Jason will bring to our council.

It is an honor and a privilege to be selected to serve this council, Jason said. The Del-Mar-Va Council is one of the most highly regarded Boy Scout councils in the nation. I look forward to partnering with volunteers, community leaders and staff members to significantly grow the Scouting program in every community we serve.

 

Jason follows Patrick Sterrett as Scout Executive, CEO. After six great years of service Patrick accepted a promotion with the Northeast Region of the Boy Scouts of America to serve an Area Director where he will provide leadership to ten councils.

Jason is a good guy - hate to see him go, but wish him well.

 

We just lost several very good employees - see below, from our council web site:

 

Congratulations are in order for several Atlanta Area Council staff members. Director of Field Services Jason Pierce has been selected as Scout Executive for the Del-Mar-Va Council in Wilmington, Delaware. Jason, who has been with the Council for 18 years, will report to his new post on September 1. Jay Stoecker, Director of Annual Campaigns, has been promoted to serve as the Director of Development for the Daniel Webster Council in Manchester, New Hampshire. Jay has been a valued member of the Atlanta Area Council team since 1999. Jason Eiermann, Activities Director, will serve as a Field Director for the Black Warrior Council in Tuscaloosa. Jason began his career in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and joined the Atlanta Area Council in 2004. These three will be dearly missed, but we wish them all the best in their new positions!

Sounds like your council is doing a great job. In our council when someone leaves, they always leave the BSA for "other opportunities".
