The National Gay
and Lesbian Task Force has named Rea Carey as its acting
executive director while the organization continues the
search for a full-time director, The Washington Blade reported Tuesday.
Carey, who is
deputy executive director, will temporarily succeed Matt
Foreman, who will step down this month. Carey, who is
not being considered for the permanent position, said
the organization is strong and that she will keep the
direction consistent with Foreman's guidance.
"We are in
such a strong place because of Matt's leadership over
the last five years," she said to the
Blade. "So I'm enjoying being
able to serve in this role, but also knowing that whoever
steps into this role is going to have a great organization
to lead."
Foreman is moving
to the Gay and Lesbian Program at the Evelyn and Walter
Haas Jr. Fund. (The Advocate)
