A Special Welcome to Our New Executive Director

The board of directors of Family Service of Glencoe announces the appointment of William M. Hansen as the agency’s new executive director.

Hansen brings 35 years of non-profit leadership and management experience in human service organizations to the job. Most recently, he served as executive vice president at Aunt Martha’s Youth Service Center. Prior to that position, he held leadership roles at Chicago Youth Centers, YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago and One Hope United. Hansen holds a master of social work degree with a concentration in management and policy from the University of Illinois at Chicago and a bachelor of arts degree from Northern Illinois University.

“We are thrilled to welcome Bill as our next leader as FSG moves into another 100 years of serving the Glencoe community,” said Marilyn Perlman, president of the board of directors of FSG. “Bill’s strong leadership experience in the social service arena and his vision for taking FSG forward are exactly what our agency needs as we grow our fundraising, outreach and services to continue to support the evolving socio-emotional needs of our village.”

Hansen’s appointment will be effective July 6. Upon his start, Al Ross, LCSW, who has served as interim executive director while the agency conducted its executive director search, will resume his role as FSG’s clinical director. “We want to thank Al for his dedication to the agency and our community,” said Perlman. “His leadership and guidance during this period were crucial in ensuring the quality of our services during this transition.”
