The National Ability Center announced the hiring of its new Executive Director today. Gail Loveland joins the NAC following a five success-filled years at Outdoors for All in Seattle, Washington.
The NAC’s board of directors received interest from many qualified candidates across the country. Loveland’s experience working with people with disabilities and innovative strategies for community involvement led to her hiring at the NAC. Loveland helped Outdoors for All to become a Paralympic Sport Club – a designation shared by the NAC. She also volunteered with the International Paralympic Committee with 2010 Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver.
Loveland was the Associate Executive Director at the Outdoors for All Foundation in Seattle, Washington. She says she attributes her passion for adaptive recreation to the incredible athletes, families and volunteers who never cease to surprise and inspire her.
Over the last fifteen years, Loveland has gained experience in the recreation and non-profit fields as a ski and snowboard instructor for Keystone Mountain, Education and Program Director for the Starlight Children's Foundation, and Board President of the Washington State Chapter of U.S. Lacrosse. Her free time includes outdoor activities, team sports, and cheering on her home teams like the Philadelphia Flyers.
Loveland graduated from the University of Vermont School of Business with honors and holds an Executive Certification in Non-Profit Management from Georgetown University.
Gail will start at the NAC on June 21st, and you can meet her at the NAC's free Community Open House and Paralympic Experience on July 17th. Mark your calendars!
