The Boys & Girls Club of South County
Invest in the lives of our youth today!

Dear Colleagues,

I write this message with mixed emotions and I wanted to share with you that over the last two years I have had mounting health issues that are not going away or improving. While I have dedicated my life’s work to the Boys & Girls Club movement I have made the decision that I now need to shift my priorities to my health and family. After 47 years of service I have decided to tender my resignation and will move into retirement life effective December 31, 2021. The last few months have been the most difficult for myself as I’ve contemplated this life changing decision.

The Executive Committee of our Board of Directors has made this transition easier for me naming Stephanie James as the next CEO of our wonderful organization. Over the past 18 years I have seen her grow into the professional leader she has become and I’m fully confident she will take the Club to new heights as she embarks on her new role.

I have been blessed to work beside dedicated colleagues, volunteers, donors, community partners and professional staff who have truly giving me the most rewarding career imaginable. My most treasured memories are the experiences I’ve have had with the countless youth who have impacted my life that I will fondly reflect upon the rest of my days.

Thank you for your friendship and faith,

Ken Blinsman  

President/CEO | Boys & Girls Clubs of South County
