Philadelphia, PA - After a very successful HEROES event, which netted twice the proceeds as compared to last year's event, the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund (DVLF) Board of Directors announced the resignation of John Moeller Jr. from his position as Executive Director. Moeller, who has been with the organization since January 2011, has accepted the position of Vice President of External Affairs at Planned Parenthood Northeast and Mid-Penn.

"While the Board is sad to lose John, we would not be in the position we are today without his leadership and wish him all the best in this new endeavor," stated Mark Mitchell, DVLF Board President. "John's departure will in no way hamper current DVLF efforts. We already have an Interim Executive Director in place to help us keep our momentum. Our board is fully engaged as well and ready to step-in whenever needed." The Board has named Mark Dann as Interim Executive Director and will be working part-time. Dann has several years of fundraising experience, specifically around political campaigns. He will focus on building DVLF's current development initiatives, while Sandra Thompson, Director of Operations, will continue to work on DVLF's programmatic efforts.

In the upcoming months, the board will be working closely with Dann and Thompson to determine the next steps the organization will be taking to fill the Executive Director position.
