(BLOOMINGTON) - Nancy Crandall has been Chief Financial Officer for LIFEDesigns for the past 19 years. Her leadership has been invaluable to the organization’s success in achieving their mission of partnering with people of all ages and abilities to lead meaningful and active lives.
Since she joined (then Options for Better Living) in October 1998, she has been responsible for guiding LIFEDesigns to a Four-fold increase in revenues, positive net incomes for all but 3 of those years, a 50 percent increase in salary per employee, and 19 years of positive audit results. She has retired and will definitely be missed. Her legacy, however, leaves LIFEDesigns with a solid foundation and some truly great staff.
LIFEDesigns welcomed Cathy Martin, CPA on April 24th, to fill the role of Chief Financial Officer at IFEDesigns. Cathy has 12 years of nonprofit accounting and more than that operating her own accounting business. She is adjunct faculty at Ivy Tech teaching nonprofit accounting. She has been a lifelong resident of the Bloomington area, and a graduate of Indiana University.
"I am very excited to become a part of the LIFEDesigns team," says Martin, about joining LIFEDesigns, I hope that my non-profit and accounting experience will help me to continue the outstanding fiscal leadership and further support the mission of the organization." Susan Rinne, LIFEDesigns CEO states, "Thank you to Nancy for all her work over the past 19 years. We are so pleased to build a strong financial foundation for the agency. As we move forward, we are certain Cathy will continue her tradition of excellence and help us as we tackle the tough issues that will face us in the future."
