Colorado Springs Council of Neighborhoods and Organizations hires new director after turnover

A long-time Colorado Springs group focused on neighborhood issues recently hired a new executive director after facing some turnover in leadership, public criticism and misunderstanding of its mission.  The Council of Neighborhoods and Organizations, a 43-year-old group, used to advocate on behalf of neighborhoods directly, but transitioned away from that model a few years ago, said Rick Hoover, board president. Newly hired Executive Director Sara Vaas now expects the organization to hone in on the group s mission to educate residents about city issues and how to advocate for themselves.  CONO cannot be all things to all neighborhoods. . What we can do is raise up leaders within their own neighborhoods, she said.
