In September 2011, the next generation of leaders will be appointed by the Board of Directors to carry on Christ’s work at My Brother’s Keeper.

Acting on a motion put forth by co-founders Jim and Terry Orcutt and board chair Deacon Dan Sullivan, the following changes will take place, effective September 15th:

• Erich Miller will become President of My Brother’s Keeper.
• Brian Concannon will become Chair of the Board of Directors. He is currently Chair of the Development Board and will move from that position.
• Joyce Donadio will become Chair of the Development Board.
• Jim Orcutt, Terry Orcutt, and Deacon Dan Sullivan will remain voting members of the Board of Directors. Jim will hold the title President Emeritus.

“Jim and I were blessed long ago to recognize that My Brother’s Keeper is not about us, as founders,” said Terry Orcutt. “It’s about our mission ‘To bring the Love and Hope of Jesus Christ to those we serve.'”

Jim added, “This is a continuation of the transition plan we started in 2008 when we named Erich the ministry’s first executive director. Terry, Dan, and I are grateful God has given us a talented, mission-focused team like Erich, Brian, and Joyce to lead My Brother’s Keeper to even greater things in the future.”

Erich Miller, a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, was the ministry’s first Executive Director in 2008, the first paid employee in 1998, and the ministry’s first Holy Cross Associate in 1993.

Brian Concannon is a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and is President and CEO of Haemonetics Corporation in Braintree. Brian, his wife Grace, and their daughters Jennifer and Marisa began volunteering at My Brother’s Keeper in 1999. He has served as Chair of the Development Board since 2005.

Joyce Donadio is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and is a Senior Vice-President at Putnam Investments. She began volunteering at My Brother’s Keeper with her family in 1992. Very appropriately, she follows in her father’s footsteps: her dad, Peter Donadio, was the founding Chair of the Development Board.
