DALLAS, Texas — Abigail Erickson-Torres is moving on from her role as Chief Executive Officer of Bryan’s House, the nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting at-risk children with special needs in North Texas. After eight remarkable years leading the organization, Erickson-Torres’ tenure will conclude on June 2, 2023. Bryan’s House executives anticipate a smooth transition with little to no impact on the families they serve.
As Bryan’s House embarks on its search for a new CEO, a committee led by global business leader David Wagner, incoming Board Chair Keith Mankin MD, and other key members will explore the organization’s future direction. This effort will focus on executing the nonprofit’s innovative Strategic Plan and building capacity for sustainable growth.
Reflecting on Erickson-Torres’ time with Bryan’s House, Board Chair Nicole Blythe expressed gratitude for her unwavering dedication and service. “Throughout her eight-year tenure, Abigail has been instrumental in fulfilling our mission, enhancing visibility, sustaining operations, improving quality, and expanding the agency to better serve children and families with excellence. As she transitions to a new role in the community, we will undoubtedly miss her leadership and wish her the best in her future endeavors.”
