Community Foundation names new president, CEO

The Findlay-Hancock County Community Foundation Board of Trustees has named Brian Treece its new president and CEO. Treece will succeed Kathy Kreuchauf beginning Nov. 2. "I am thrilled to be chosen to lead The Community Foundation in this next chapter," said Treece. "I am grateful to Kathy for the meaningful work she's made possible over 12 years and look forward to continuing to grow the Foundation and our impact. We are The Community's Foundation because of those who make our work possible — our donors, board members, volunteers, staff, grantees, community members and leaders, and countless partners who are dedicated to improving the quality of life for all who live, work, learn and play in Hancock County." Treece has served as program director for community and organizational development and evaluation at The Community Foundation since 2016. He is a lifelong resident of Hancock County and a graduate of Findlay High School and the University of Findlay. He received his doctorate in organizational leadership in 2010. Prior to joining the Foundation, he was the assistant dean of students at UF. The Kathy Kreuchauf Future Generations Fund was established in celebration of Kreuchauf 12 years of leadership.
