President and CEO of Seasons Center for Behavioral Health, Kim Scorza, has submitted her resignation. Her last day will be Aug. 31. Scorza has agreed to stay on as a consultant until Dec. 31 to ensure a smooth transition.

Scorza has accepted the CEO position at Crittenton Center in Sioux City. Accepting the Crittenton Center's offer will allow her to focus all of her attention on serving children.

"There is no other reason for leaving Seasons Center besides my strong desire to make the world a safer, more secure and caring place for children to live," Scorza said in a news release. "I am very excited to serve children and their families in the tristate area through the various programs and services Crittenton Center has to offer."

Scorza has led Seasons Center for the last 11-1/2 years. She was instrumental in developing and helping to shape Autumn's Center and Camp Autumn.

"Seasons Center's board of directors developed a plan in conjunction with our partners as Kim transitions away from the agency," said Board President Philip De Koster. "We are committed to working with Kim on a smooth transition and are dedicated to the recruitment of a new CEO to guide the agency into the future."

Dan Ries, Seasons Center's Vice President of Finance, has accepted the appointment of interim CEO.
