Natick Service Council taps tech industry veteran as executive director

July 9, 2020 by Bob Brown Leave a Comment

Natick Service Council, a non-profit organization that helps Natick neighbors in need, has named Dan Shea as its executive director.

He is a familiar face in these parts, having been part of the Natick community for 20-plus years, as he, his wife and two children moved to Natick from Charlotte in 1999. His contributions to the town have included involvement in Natick Rotary Club activities such as Tour de Natick and Natick Days.

Shea comes to Natick Service Council after nearly 40 years in sales, management and other roles at technology companies such as IBM and Arrow Electronics. He looks forward to working with a board and staff he describes as an integrated team.

“The skills I developed while working in the corporate world complement the requirements of the Natick Service Council:  Leading a team, adapting to  changes in your environment, creating a measurable plan with goals and executing that plan, being financially and operationally efficient,” he says.  “These are all skills that transcend the industry you are in and even extend to your personal life. “
Shea is joining Natick Service Council at a time when more Natick neighbors are experiencing economic uncertainty. 
“COVID-19 has introduced increased uncertainty and challenges for all of us and we want to ensure everyone in town knows that the NSC is here to help in this unprecedented time.  Our case workers are exceptional at understanding people’s needs, reaching out to the resources available in Metrowest and providing support.  Our programs team is hard at work on our back to school backpack program while also planning our fall and winter programs.”
 
The Natick Service Council has had to change how it operates during the pandemic.
“We have not been using volunteers or accepting food or clothing donations and we have been working with our clients remotely,” Shea notes. “We are eagerly looking forward to the time when we can engage with the community again on a face-to-face basis.”

Shea succeeds Greg Tutuny, who stepped down as executive director after nine years. Board President Carol Gloff has been serving as interim Executive Director.
