Lauren Richard, Audrey Schwartzberg also take on leadership roles at the regional nonprofit
Saranac Lake, NY — The Adirondack North Country Association (ANCA) has announced the appointment of Zach Hobbs as the regional economic development nonprofit’s first deputy director. Tasked with leading the organization’s strategic planning process, as well as identifying and coordinating opportunities for programmatic funding and growth, Hobbs formally took on the deputy director position earlier this month.
In this new role, Hobbs will expand ongoing efforts to build partnerships and support for ANCA’s work among regional stakeholders and elected officials. He will also lead planning, implementation and reporting processes for ANCA’s next strategic plan, which is set to be published in Fall 2025.
“This is a critical moment for ANCA as strategic adaptation is crucial to address the drastically changing grant funding landscape,” said Cooper. “We aim to identify the most critical needs of our communities and the core areas where ANCA provides the most benefit, while staying true to our values. Our communities will be relying on us more than ever before, and ANCA needs to be well positioned to meet that need. Zach’s expertise and leadership are helping ANCA meet this moment.”
