We’re pleased to introduce our new Executive Director, Marguerite Havard!
The Executive Director wears many hats: management, strategic planning, fundraising, and building strong relationships within Last Bell.
Marguerite brings years of experience to the role, most recently with Life Centers as the director of the Hamilton County location. She also has experience with church administration, and she’s been to Ukraine!
“During my first visit to Ukraine in 2015,” Marguerite writes, “I met the staff and young people of Last Bell Ministries. I was struck by the quality of the staff’s work as they answered God’s call to care for the fatherless. We’ve supported Last Bell ever since. Serving alongside this devoted staff is my privilege and joy!”
Marguerite and her husband live in Carmel, IN. They have three grown daughters and two grandsons. Marguerite enjoys photography, hiking in the mountains, and teaching Bible studies at church.
Marguerite is “an exceptional leader,” writes our treasurer, Dave Richter. “She has the experience and administrative gifts that are critical to keep our ministry moving forward and growing. More importantly, she’ll blend all these skills with a heart that genuinely seeks to Glorify God.”
Thanks to some providential timing, Marguerite will be able to join me on a trip to Ukraine this month. She’ll get to know our staff and youth more deeply and witness the current work firsthand.
We’re confident that as you get to know Marguerite, you’ll be encouraged by her experience and her hope-filled vision for our youth in Ukraine!
Working together for God’s Kingdom,
Don Lawton, Board Chair
