Farewell and Congrats, Ellen Schulmeister!
Jessilyn Averill
Serving Washtenaw County since 1988, Shelter Association of Washtenaw County (SAWC) Executive Director, Ellen Schulmeister has retired! Ellen received proclamations from both the City of Ann Arbor and Washtenaw County, honoring her years of service assisting our county’s most vulnerable population. Ellen played a key role in fundraising for the creation of the Robert J. Delonis Center, located in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor, and has served as Executive Director since 1998. Shortly after, she helped to develop the Washtenaw Housing Alliance. We’d like to take this opportunity to give our most heartfelt thanks to Ellen for her vital role in helping to end homelessness in Washtenaw County. We are grateful that she will continue to be a member of the Washtenaw Housing Alliance Board of Directors. Congratulations, Ellen!
