Sometime in the summer of 2016, if all goes according to plan, Marilee Roloff will retire as CEO of the Eastern Washington and North Idaho chapter of Volunteers for America with a big party.
It won't be a celebration of her 31 years with the organization, the past 20 as the boss, but of a grand opening of the new VOA Haven. It's being built in conjunction with Catholic Charities' Buder Haven, offering 100 new beds for homeless men and women with special needs ranging from chemical dependency to mental illness and developmental disabilities. It's the kind of collaboration between Inland Northwest nonprofits that makes Roloff proud.
Roloff — always quick with a joke, and a passionate description of VOA's work — told us about what's changed since she arrived in Spokane, and what she'll miss about serving the region's neediest kids and adults.
