A letter from our Executive Director, Ronnie Millar

I hope this message finds you and your loved ones healthy and well.

It has been one of the great privileges of my life to serve the Rian
Immigrant Center for these past 11 years. I have worked alongside a brilliant team of staff, board members, supporters and advisors; and it has been such an honor.

Given the strength of our staff team, our solid financial position,
and our dedicated Board of Directors, I believe this is the right time
for me to announce my decision to step down as executive director after my successor is appointed. Rian needs a new leader to take our work forward.

My single aim is to ensure a smooth transition, and I have been working with our Board of Directors and staff to develop a thoughtful transition plan, and to ensure every aspect of Rian and the Massachusetts Immigrant Collaborative continues smoothly. I am confident that Rian will find a leader who will build on our successes and momentum.

I will remain as executive director throughout this process until my successor has been appointed.

I am forever grateful for your support, partnership, and friendship. Together we have accomplished so much as we worked towards creating a society where all are welcomed, and valued, and enjoy equitable opportunities and protections; and as we have established Rian as Boston’s Welcome Center for immigrant families. Thank you!

I have enormous respect and gratitude for our staff, Board members, volunteers, donors, and the many community and government partners who have worked tirelessly in support of immigrants from Ireland and from more than 120 countries

I don't know what the future holds for me yet but I am excited to think about my next adventure. Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your commitment and support for Rian and the immigrant families we serve. It is my sincere hope that you will continue to support Rian’s vision in the future.

Please reach out to me at any stage if you have any questions at 617-710-4668

In gratitude and solidarity,

Ronnie Millar
