Glade Run Lutheran Services head to retire
ZELIENOPLE — After nearly three decades at Glade Run Lutheran Services, Charles Lockwood, president and CEO, is retiring.
The staff held a retirement celebration Wednesday. His last day will be June 1.
“Aside from being a job and working to transform the agency, it's also been my life,” Lockwood said. “Some people talk about loving your jobs, and I can't say I always loved it, but I always knew this was the right place to be. It's been my life really and my ministry.”
Since he came on as president and CEO in 1989, Glade Run has grown significantly in size, adding education, autism and expanded mental health care offerings among others, officials said.
Lockwood is still deciding on what his next chapter holds.
“I'm just going to go into it slowly,” he said. “I might get back engaged in the church some, do some traveling, some volunteer work.”
