Ivy House is pleased to announce Trisha Homan as its new executive director.

Homan brings event and fundraising experience with her, and she was instrumental in the Angel Baby Memorial. She has a passion for helping children by serving the entire family.

“What drew me to Ivy House was the opportunity to serve families in the community I love and to share the love of Jesus in my work,” she said.

Prior to this position, Homan coordinated events at the New Ulm County Club, where she created an organized and efficient event planning system. She created and implemented new events like Flight Night.

“Ivy House is at a crucial stage of growth, and Trisha is the perfect leader for managing that growth. We look forward to having her positive energy on our team,” said Ivy House board chairman Steve Turvold.

Interim executive director Michelle Markgraf will remain with Ivy House through September to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.
