SOS begins search for new Executive Director

The Executive Director of Some Other Solutions (SOS), Jason King, has announced his resignation.

In May 2017, Jason assumed the position of Executive Director at SOS. Over the last five years, he has assisted the agency in growing the presence of SOS, putting in place a new long-term strategy, establishing new complementary strategic partnerships, and improving and stabilizing operations and organizational processes, among other things.

The Board of Directors and staff would like to thank Jason for his contribution and leadership as he built SOS and improved its service offerings for the RMWB. Jason's last day will be Friday, July 29, 2022. Until then, the board will oversee the process of permanently filling the Executive Director position.
