Nancy Mohr Steps down as the Head of Chester County 2020

            After nine years at the helm of CC2020, Nancy Mohr has announced her retirement as of the end of July. Her health from a stroke in the fall ’09 has made this a difficult decision for her.  Her passion for the non-profit’s mission has not waned, for “there is also one more task to complete, one more dream to dream.  I’ve experienced the benefit of meeting with the fascinating fabric, the diversity, and the committed people across the county.”

In the interim, the Chairman of the Board, Jock Hannum, will be responsible for continuing CC2020’s mission as will the Board. Nancy will be on hand to support the transition to the new leadership of C2020.

                And as she observes, “Over the past nine years, there have been changes here in Chester County, some unavoidable, some that might have been chosen with a wiser eye – if we had looked, listened and considered. Everyone who moves to the county has a dream of how their home and community will be. It’s human nature to emphasize what appeals in the first place. And if it doesn’t meet expectations, there are unexpected surprises. CC2020 tries to help maintain the integrity of the county as we know and cherish it – charm, beauty, open space, neighborliness – and the responsibility we all share.”
