the Pearl Buck Vocational Academy. On July 1, Tim Keeley passed the Board presidency to Erik Hasselman, who is already providing positive leadership. Jan’s life will change in February 2017, when she retires, after 22 years with this great organization. These and other changes will reconfigure our internal landscape.

Throughout our history, we have fulfilled our mission in the face of change, and it will be no different going forward. As always, navigating change will take our combined efforts and talents. As always, our unity of purpose will ensure Pearl Buck Center’s continuity and strength.

Most of us can think of ways in which the world has changed during our lifetime. Change may bring advances we embrace, or setbacks we shrink from. Both require choosing a course of action, even if that means giving up.

For Pearl Buck Center, change--and adapting to change--is an accepted way of life. Since its birth in 1953, this organization has lived through significant local, national, and global evolutions in economy, politics, technology, and social perspectives. We have never given up.

Flexibility is important; however, Pearl Buck Center does more than just “go with the flow” of change. Our core values and clear sense of purpose guide and inspire us to keep growing and responding to community needs. One recent example is the wonderful Project Search internship program we have launched in collaboration with Peace Health Riverbend.When the challenge of closing sheltered workshops emerged, we began designing
