Kevin Hardy, The Kansas City Star
Apr. 3—Cris Medina, the longtime chief executive of Kansas City's Guadalupe Centers Inc., is on administrative leave pending a workplace investigation.
Medina has led the nonprofit organization for more than 40 years, overseeing its growth from a small organization to one of the area's largest nonprofits with locations across the city.
It's unclear why Medina was placed on leave. He did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
In an email to staff in early March, Guadalupe Center's lawyer Mark Nasteff told employees that the board had placed Medina on administrative leave. He referenced an investigation under way by a third party.
