The Cedars of Chapel Hill will celebrate its twentieth anniversary this Halloween and if there is one person most responsible for that celebration it is their long-term President, Bob Woodruff. Bob’s nature is to praise all those who have served during The Cedars’ history, to highlight the great strengths of The Cedars’ team, and to keep everyone’s focus on the families who have chosen The Cedars as their home. Those Members are the most important part of this special community.
As such, it was a bittersweet moment when Bob announced his retirement and my role as his successor. I am happy that Bob will enjoy more time to beat younger people at tennis and golf, to make his yard more beautiful, and to continue to make Chapel Hill a better place that laughs more often. I am relieved that he will continue to advise me on all his role entails.
I have focused my career on helping communities like The Cedars grow and thrive. I am grateful to him and the rest of The Cedars’ family for trusting me with this responsibility. It is exciting to be a part of a community that makes such a positive impact in the place my family has called home for over twenty years.
I am also thankful that this new role allows me to continue working with communities and programs outside the Chapel Hill market. It is a gift to be able to serve in this role and to continue my work with some of the brightest teams focused on bettering older lives. It is truly the best of all worlds.
Thanks to The Cedars and to Bob most of all.
Looking Forward,
Perry
