Nonprofit launches CEO search

VENICE — Venice's Loveland Village has launched a search for a new CEO.

The nonprofit that provides educational, vocational and residential programs for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities will look nationally for a leader, according to a press release.

Current CEO and President Daniela Koci will leave her position at the end of June.

“Daniela has been an important part of the Loveland Village team since 2011, and became CEO of Loveland Village in March 2016,” says board chair Debbie LaPinska in a statement. “We are grateful for the meaningful impact she has had on the organization's mission and wish her all the best in her future endeavors.”

The board of Loveland Village formed a search committee that will be led by board vice chair Dr. Jim Woods. A team of senior staff members managed by Chief Development Officer Rafael Robles will take on the roles and responsibilities of the CEO in the interim.
