Dear Members of the Merrick House Community,
The Board of Trustees of Merrick House is excited and proud to announce the appointment of Harriet Hadley as our new Executive Director beginning on May 24, 2021.
Harriet brings extensive skills in planning, management, social service and community development. She is leaving her current position as Business Community Liaison at the Cleveland Job Corps Center and, prior to that, she was with Scranton Road Ministries as the program director.
Harriet is the Chair of the Financial Stability Committee of the United Way of Greater Cleveland. She is affiliated with several groups, including the Rotary Club of Cleveland, Greater Cleveland Partnership, and the National Congress of Black Women. She also serves on the Board of Directors of Greater Collinwood Development Corporation and was appointed by the Mayor of Cleveland to the Community Police Commission with the Cleveland consent decree. Harriet received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Business Management from Indiana Wesleyan University.
Harriet’s passion for community, dedication to families and youth, and her experience and background will truly benefit those served by Merrick House. We are confident that we have the right leader who will ensure that Merrick House continues to serve as a bedrock organization in our community. We know that Harriet’s leadership will take us to new heights of success as we serve our mission and pursue our vision.
