Change of leadership at Maryvale Adolescent and Family Services

After 38 years, Connie Martin is retiring as Executive Director at Maryvale Adolescent and Family Services.

Martin's last day with the organization that cares for more than 1,000 local youth every year is January 3, 2022.

"We are saddened to say goodbye to Connie. She was brought in to revitalize Maryvale's services and its role in the community. She has unquestionable regard and respect in the community, and because of who she is and how she shows up in the world, she has done just that," said Maureen Greff, President of the Maryvale Board of Directors. "She dedicated her entire career to helping improve children's mental health. We, as an organization, owe her a tremendous amount of thanks."

Greff also said Jenny Letink has accepted the position of Executive Director after what she calls "an exhaustive search."

Letink has filled numerous positions in municipal and provincial governments.

"She knows the Child and Adolescent Mental Health system in Windsor well, and has described this as a challenge but rewarding work," said a statement from Maryvale.

"I am thrilled to be appointed Executive Director at Maryvale as I have witnessed first-hand the meaningful work they do," said Letink.
