Marilyn Mason-Plunkett, the CEO of Hopelink, a key nonprofit organization serving homeless and low-income children, families and individuals in North and East King County, has announced her resignation due to health reasons, effective October 31. Marilyn Mason-Plunkett served as Hopelink CEO since 2006.
Last week, Mason-Plunkett spoke at the Hopelink Annual Reaching Out Luncheon, sharing her excitement for Hopelink's current success in serving the community and her confidence in its future direction. This year's luncheon raised more funds than any previous Hopelink event.
To ensure a smooth transition, the Board of Directors has designated Hopelink President/COO Lauren Thomasas Hopelink's Interim CEO while a search is conducted to find a permanent replacement for Mason-Plunkett. Thomas has a long and successful history of leadership in local nonprofits and has guided daily operations at Hopelink since 2010.
Since 1971, Hopelink has served homeless and low-income families, children, seniors and people with disabilities in north and east King County by promoting self-sufficiency for all members of our community and by helping people make lasting change. Hopelink assists people in meeting their needs for food, shelter, family development and stabilization, homelessness prevention, heating assistance, transportation services, adult literacy and financial literacy skills and employment services.
