Menno Place said good-bye to retiring CEO, Karen Biggs today, January 13, 2023.

After 9.5 years of faithful and dedicated service to Menno Place, Karen Biggs did a final walkabout. The Menno Place Team gathered to wish her well in her retirement, sharing photo memories from her first week of work in 2013.

Thank you, Karen, for your leadership, your advocacy and the improvements that you brought to residents, families and staff while you led us. We thank you for your leadership, especially during the COVID pandemic when care for the elderly was most challenging.

We wish you a wonderful retirement with many opportunities to share your love, knowledge and skill with others.

Blessings to you, Karen!

Until a new CEO is announced, Kathrin McMath (COO) will be Acting CEO of Menno Place.
