Wow, what a great year 2024 was for Trinity Woods! Did it fly by for anyone else, or just for me? My first year at Trinity Woods proved more incredible than I could have imagined. Aside from getting to know all the amazing people, I have already learned so much about this special place. I look forward to my first FULL year in 2025!
If I had to choose one word to describe 2024 at Trinity Woods, it would be – change. Together, we
experienced, and in some ways endured, a lot of change as a community. The Executive Leadership
Team saw changes with the addition of Emilie Creswell, VP of Health Services, and Weldon Tisdale
serving as the Interim Director of Wellness, and I joined the team succeeding CEO, Steve Dickie. We have also seen new faces to our Board of Directors and bid farewell to others who have given of their time, talent, and treasure for many years. I can honestly say, I know this organization is better for each person’s service.
Some of our precious neighbors throughout the community have transitioned to other levels of living and some have received their ultimate promotion to Heaven.
We endured road closures, house rebuilds, street repairs, and a host of other disruptive, but necessary capital improvements – all in the name of progress!
As we look ahead to a prosperous 2025 and more change, fear not; for change is good. It signifies progress, growth and advancement. Winston Churchill said, “to improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often”.
As I look ahead into 2025, I encourage the Trinity Woods team and community to embrace whatever changes may lie ahead. The backbone of our strategic plan is growth, which is achieved by change. We will experience growth in our workforce, in our finances, in the quality of our services, in our philanthropic portfolio, and our physical plant.
May it be a year of growth, positive change, and good health for you and for your loved ones. God Bless.
The State of the Woods
