The Bowling Green Pregnancy Center Board of Directors has hired a new executive director.
Shelly Burkhart, who replaces Lynette Worthy as center director, comes to Bowling Green from the Pregnancy Center of Greater Toledo. There she served as the client services director for the past two and a half years.
A native of Bedford, Mich., Burkhart currently resides in Waterville and has a background in both ministry and banking.
"I worked for Cedar Creek Church (in Perrysburg) for seven years" and for St. Timothy Episcopal Church, also in Perrysburg, for two years before that.
She started her career with 19 years in the banking business. "I started with Toledo Trust and went through five mergers" with the bank.
"Shelly is thrilled to be our new executive director and has an incredible passion for women, the unborn and to help post-abortive women heal," notes center board member Veronica Urban.
