Thank You, Johnnie Nash!

After 40 incredible years of dedication, hard work, and countless memories, Johnnie Nash has retired. Before joining HopeTree in 1983, Jonnie was a history teach with Montgomery County Schools. It was with this background he found a calling to utilize both his education and experience in serving the youth at HopeTree. Johnnie held several positions during his tenure, starting in direct care, then to management, and ultimately, being promoted to Vice President and Chief Operations Officer.

Over the years, Johnnie worked with every program at HopeTree - from Foster Care and Adoptions, Residential Services, HopeTree Academy, Christian Education, Activities, Clinical Services, and Developmental Disabilities Ministries (DDM).

Johnnie wasn't just immeshed in the programs. He also overssaw supportive services such as Food Services, Cleaning Services, and use of gymnasium, swimming pool, ball field, chapel, the use of other campus facilities by outside organization. You would be very hard pressed to find an area of HopeTree that was not affected by Johnnie's influence.

At the end of the day, Johnnie's favorite thing about HopeTree was having the opportunity to help the youth and adults HopeTree serves. It was his joy to work with them for a better quality of life and to be the very best that they could be.

Thank you, Jonnie Nash. We wish you nothing but the best and congratulate you on a remarkable career!
