Lisa Healy, who has served as executive director of Catholic Charities of East Tennessee since April 2019, has retired.
Mrs. Healy announced her retirement several months ago and her last day was Aug. 18. Deacon David Duhamel, vice chancellor for strategic planning and school sustainability for the Diocese of Knoxville, will serve as interim executive director of CCETN.
The Diocese of Knoxville said in a statement that Catholic Charities of East Tennessee has been richly blessed by Mrs. Healy’s leadership and her service to the nonprofit organization that provides social services throughout East Tennessee.
“Deacon Duhamel’s wealth of experience in leadership, business operations, strategic planning, and international security will prove to be fruitful as CCETN transitions into new leadership. A nationwide recruitment search continues for a full-time executive director,” the diocese said in a statement.
