The Waverly Community House Appoints Interim Executive Director

The Board of Trustees of the Waverly Community House is pleased to announce the appointment of Gia Tugend as Interim Executive Director, following the departure of Michelle Hamilton.

Ms. Hamilton, who was appointed Executive Director in June 2023, has concluded her tenure with the organization. The Board extends its sincere gratitude to her for her service and leadership.

Ms. Tugend brings extensive experience and deep institutional knowledge to the role, having served the Waverly Community House since 2012 in a variety of capacities. Most recently, she held the position of Director of Institutional Advancement and Digital Social Media.

“We are confident in Gia’s leadership and we’re fortunate to have a seasoned, capable team in place,” said Betsy Curtin, President of the Board of Trustees. “They know The Comm inside and out – its deep traditions, its importance to the community, and the high standard of service it represents. Programs and services will continue without interruption. The Comm is strong, and it’s in excellent hands.”

The Board will soon establish a search committee to identify and appoint a permanent Executive Director. In the meantime, Ms. Tugend will ensure continued momentum and a smooth transition.
