Dear Kindering Friends:

We are so very pleased to announce that Dr. Lisa Greenwald has been chosen as Kindering’s new Chief Executive Officer. In this role, Dr. Greenwald will provide strategic direction and leadership for one of the nation’s largest and most comprehensive neurodevelopmental centers, serving nearly 5,000 children and families each year.

Dr. Greenwald was selected following a rigorous six-month process by the Kindering Board of Directors. The search was chaired by board members Janelle Milodragovich, Esq. and Diane Demopulos, RN. We look forward to working together in close collaboration through the end of the year to ensure a smooth and seamless transition.

Dr. Greenwald brings vast subject matter knowledge to this role. She is a licensed speech-language pathologist, holds a PhD in Communication Sciences and Disorders from the University of Texas at Dallas and an Executive Certificate in Non-profit Leadership (Duke University).

A seventeen-year Kindering veteran, Lisa has been an indispensable part of Kindering’s marrow. She first served as a talented speech and language therapist and then for fourteen years in Kindering’s executive leadership, most recently as Chief Program Officer. Lisa is a highly respected leader both inside our beloved organization and statewide.

Greenwald’s expertise and experience run deep, as does her dedication as a proud parent of a Kindering graduate: Kindering’s support along my unexpected journey is only one of many reasons why I am thrilled to give back to other children and families as Kindering’s next CEO. I am inspired each and every day by our community’s deep belief in and commitment to our children’s unlimited potential, and I am humbled to carry on Mimi Siegel’s fearless forty-year legacy.

In closing, we want to express our own highest regard and deepest affection for Lisa. Working alongside her all these years has been a treasure; her capability and commitment are boundless. We have the utmost confidence that Lisa will deliver on the promise of this marvelous organization and, most importantly, she will deliver on our promise to our children.

Sincerely,

Glenn Lux, MD
