This will be my last post as Executive Director of We Care Manatee. Please welcome Annie Breitinger in her new role of Associate Executive Director. I will remain in the office to assist in the transition as she takes over my responsibilities over the next couple of months. Annie brings 8 years of experience working with We Care Manatee, and a commitment to our mission and to this community. As a local resident, she understands the needs of our clients and our providers and has the connections and resources to bring this organization to the next level! I will remain for a short while to ensure that Annie has all the tools she needs to enable We Care Manatee to continue to serve our clients and partners. I am happy to leave this organization in good hands as I (semi) retire and take it easy for a while. Please welcome Annie to our organization.
I am so excited to introduce myself as the new Associate Executive Director of this great organization. I am a longtime supporter of We Care having been on the board of directors for 8 years. When the opportunity arose to move into the Associate Executive Director role I jumped at the chance. I previously worked as a health care attorney at Blalock Walters, P.A. in Bradenton so my name may already be familiar to a few of our outstanding physicians and medical practices. I will be working closely with Kathleen so we can combine our efforts for the benefit of We Care.
