Message from John Foley, Acting Executive Director
The Arc of the United States
I am pleased to advise you of the appointment of Peter Berns as Executive Director of The Arc of the United States. Having recently served as Executive Director of the Maryland Association of Nonprofit Organizations and Chief Executive Officer of the Standards for Excellence Institute, Peter brings the highest level of leadership and excellence in organizational development to this position.
After an extensive national search, we are excited to have selected Peter to lead The Arc into a new era of growth and development. Peter brings over 20 years of nonprofit management experience, governmental relations, advocacy and academia to this assignment. As a public policy advocate, he was instrumental in reforming state and federal Medicaid regulations improving life for persons with disabilities and their families. Indeed, Peter’s personal commitment to breaking down social barriers is unassailable.
I know you look forward, as I do, to our work with Peter as we embark on this exciting time of growth and change.
