Holland Home Leadership Transitions
Holland Home president and chief executive officer Mina Breuker has retired after 23 years serving the region's largest and most diverse senior services nonprofit. Current chief operating officer Troy Vugteveen assumes the president/CEO role. Breuker will transition to president emeritus for three months, allowing for a smooth transition within the chief executive office.Breuker took over as Holland Home's president in November 2014, after longtime leader David Claus announced his retirement. As part of that planned succession, Claus remained CEO until July 2015, at which time Breuker assumed both president and CEO roles. She has been with Holland Home since 1998.
Vugteveen, 54, joined Holland Home in 2014, serving as vice president of operations, executive vice president of operations and chief operating officer.
With this change, human resources leader Doug Himmelein was promoted to executive vice president, human resources and operations. Himmelein joined Holland Home in 1997 after serving as an intern for the organization.
"Mina wanted to make sure all the leadership roles were filled appropriately before she would step away, so we knew this moment was coming, but it will still be hard to let her go," said Mary Ursul, chairperson of the Christian Living Services board of directors, which is the nonprofit parent company of Holland Home.
