Бывший президент 27 лет возглавит некоммерческую организацию Hilltop Community Resources

Hilltop Community Resources taps 27-year employee Will Hays as its new CEO Hilltop provides services across several areas, including memory care and assisted living for aging adults GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KJCT) -Those who walk through downtown Grand Junction often run into the chrome buffalo sitting on the corner of 4th St. and Main St. The building the buffalo stands in front of isn’t just their home, it also houses Hilltop Community Resources. The nonprofit named Will Hays as its new CEO in late June. Hays has worked at Hilltop for 27 years, advancing to the role of president. “[I] started working in their kids’ residential programs, and then have just kind of progressed since then,” Hays said. Hilltop provides services across several areas, including memory care and assisted living for aging adults, permanent housing assistance for unhoused individuals, and support for those experiencing intimate partner violence. “Our domestic violence programs and programs for intimate partner violence, the Latimer House — that is a program that we are seeing, unfortunately, a lot of increased need,” Hays said. “What we do is, whether or not we provide the service or not, we get them connected with either the service or the person or the place.” Hays said the organization is navigating a rise in community need. “We have a lot of increased need and reduction in funding from state and federal government specifically,” Hays said. Hays said his focus as CEO will be expanding the organization’s reach to get more members of the community through the doors behind the chrome buffalo. “I’m just overwhelmed with the opportunity to be the CEO of Hilltop, and to continue to build on our history of helping the community solve problems,” Hays said.
