Vision Resources of Central Pennsylvania (VROCP) Board of Directors Chair, John Mallonee, has confirmed that current VROCP employee, Cheryl Cuddy, the appropriate candidate to be the successor to the retiring, long time Executive Director, Danette Blank. Cheryl has begun her new position along with the new title of Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Following an extensive search and rigorous interviews with finalists, her selection has the full support of the Board of Directors and the Board’s confidence she will be the right candidate to lead the Agency into its second century of service.
Ms. Cuddy provides VROCP with 19 years of experience and accomplishments from her employment at the agency, as well as a passion for the work and mission of the organization. Among other things, she has been engaged with public awareness, community outreach, managing the Eye Clinic, overseeing the low vision program and Vision Rehab Center, and organizing three annual fundraising events: An Evening in the Shadows, Visions of Monte Carlo, and Vision Bowl.
Her time and personal contributions to the successes of the agency will help her as she develops a vision for the future of the organization.
