WES Business Administrator Tom Hutton has announced a long-range retirement plan. Tom will move from full time to half time in April, and will complete his service to WES in December of 2022 We are grateful to Tom for his many years of service and for his consideration toward WES in providing a gradual plan with plenty of notice. We can’t begin to describe the depth of wisdom and experience that Tom has brought to WES, and we are so appreciative that he is willing to stay long enough to pass along as much of what he knows as possible.

We are in search for a half-time Assistant Administrator who will support Tom beginning in April. The new Assistant Administrator will be primarily responsible for bookkeeping and managing rentals, and will become familiar with all of our office procedures. The rest of the staff team looks forward to adding a colleague to our number, and to the increased resilience and flexibility that we can practice with another office staff person on our team. 

As of today, the position announcement is posted on Indeed.com and will be shared with nearby AEU and UUA societies as well as local colleges and universities. If you know someone with accounting and customer service skills who can enthusiastically support WES’s values and Statement of Purpose, please forward the announcement along to them. The deadline to apply is February 14.

Please join the Board, staff, and Finance Team in thanking Tom and in sharing information about the new Assistant Administrator position. We look forward to celebrations, appreciations, and goodbyes in December when Tom completes his service to WES.
