Concord, NH – The Endowment for Health today announced the upcoming departure of Steven Rowe as its president. Rowe, who has led the Endowment for Health for the past three years, will continue in his current role until September 15, 2015, at which time he will assume the position of President and CEO of the Maine Community Foundation, a state-wide philanthropic organization. The Endowment for Health Board will soon meet to take up the issue of Rowe’s successor.
“During Steve’s tenure at the Endowment for Health, he has led the foundation to a new level, creating a forward-looking strategic plan, focusing grantmaking practices and strengthening relationships with key opinion leaders and stakeholders,” said Endowment for Health Board Chair Margaret Franckhauser. “Through his leadership and vision, the Endowment has launched several powerful new priority areas to address the needs of key populations,” she added, noting that Rowe’s style has been instrumental in raising awareness about the connection between good health and its role in realizing human potential.
“We thank Steve for his many contributions to the Endowment and are fortunate to have his guidance over the next two months. He and the Endowment’s talented and dedicated team will ensure a smooth transition while the Board makes key decisions about the future leadership of the organization,” said Franckhauser.
