Jenna Mehnert was our choice to lead NAMI Maine as executive director seven years ago. Her recent resignation is unfortunate for an agency that has struggled over the years with finding solid leadership. The length of our service with NAMI Maine provides us with a unique perspective on the agency’s operations.
We can attest to the significant contributions she made to program development, fundraising, public policy and implementation of an impact-made culture for NAMI Maine. We hired Jenna because of her outstanding qualifications and a clear commitment to advancing programming and policy reform to help those impacted by mental illness. She did an excellent job fulfilling the goals we established for her when she was hired.

I would like to take this opportunity to write about Jenna Mehnert, CEO of NAMI Maine (the Maine chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness), and her tireless efforts to transform an organization fraught with financial and legal challenges into a successful and well respected mental health advocacy agency.
I joined the NAMI Maine board in 2013, shortly after Ms. Mehnert was hired as the new CEO. My term on the board expired at the end of 2020, and in those seven years as vice president and then president, I experienced firsthand Ms. Mehnert’s ability to effectively lead NAMI Maine and work collaboratively with the board.
