Visionary founder Neil Willenson steps down as CEO to take on new volunteer leadership role

New executive director will leverage history and experience for the next generation of programming for those facing social isolationNeil2

Milwaukee (July 23, 2010) – One Heartland today announced after nearly 20 years of service as the Founder and CEO, Neil Willenson, will be stepping down as CEO and transitioning to a new volunteer role working with active volunteers and key supporters, while transferring daily executive management duties to Patrick Kindler, One Heartland’s current Director of Program Services.

“As I enter my 20th year in the HIV cause I am amazed at how Camp Heartland has grown into an organization far beyond my initial dreams, now as One Heartland.  The one-week of camp that we put together back in 1993 for a group of kids affected by HIV/AIDS has become a year-round operation for hundreds of children, youth and families affected by socially isolating circumstances including HIV/AIDS.  I am looking forward to remaining involved in One Heartland as its Founder and will be a passionate advocate for years to come,” stated Willenson.

Willenson will stay involved with One Heartland as chairperson of the new Founder’s Council, a group of active volunteers and supporters who will be dedicated to ensuring One Heartland’s financial security and continued innovation. Willenson resides in Milwaukee with his wife and two children.  Outside of his role with the council, Willenson is considering several opportunities in philanthropy and has not yet announced his future plans.

With Willenson’s departure, One Heartland’s Board of Directors has extended the position of Executive Director to Patrick Kindler of Minneapolis.  Kindler is currently the organization’s Director of Program Services and oversees all program development and operation.
