Hi friends!
This is one of those fun emails I get to write to you because we have exciting news over here at Love Does! I’m delighted to share with you that Jody Luke has been promoted to President of Love Does. I’m not going anywhere and will actually be more involved in my continuing twenty year role as a volunteer. You have probably noticed that Love Does has been busy as the needs and opportunities around us have increased. Since 2021 when Jody took over as Executive Director, we announced we had big dreams for Love Does to double our impact and expand our domestic programs. We have done that and much more. Big projects require solid leadership experience and Jody has certainly brought her years of business experience to the table. Under her direction, Love Does grew from 7 to 14 countries abroad with multiple projects in each country. All of this occurred while we expanded our domestic programs for refugees, single moms, and those experiencing food insecurity.
If you know Jody, then you know she is the perfect person to lead Love Does into the future, because she likes to get things done and is unapologetic in her desire to lead with love and meet practical needs in massive ways. To this end, we are well on our way to creating a world-class university in Northern Uganda! More information on that to come. I know Jody will continue to find ways to honor your generosity while ensuring the sustainability of our foundational programs.
Whether she is talking to those who are incarcerated at San Quentin or the president of Uganda at the presidential palace, Jody brings a huge amount of joy, professionalism, and energy to every friendship she makes and task she takes on.
On behalf of myself, Jody, the Board, and our amazing team thank you for being part of Love Does and for keeping your eyes on the horizon. Together, we are changing lives, and we’re going to have some fun together as we do it in the months and years ahead!
