— Executive Board President Carl Ferro
LOS ANGELES, CA, USA, December 22, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Ruth Hollman, who founded and served the company with commitment and dedication for the past 30 years, is no longer with SHARE! the Self-Help and Recovery Exchange.
“We extend our gratitude to Ruth for her substantial contributions to this remarkable philanthropy, and we are confident that our community will continue to thrive, making her proud,” said Executive Board President Carl Ferro. “Recognizing Ruth’s significant impact, we express appreciation for her enduring commitment to the organization.”
This leadership change aligns with SHARE!’s ongoing commitment for growth and expansion in the next phase of the organization.
SHARE! was founded by a group of self-help meeting attendees that had gathered in the living room of founder and CEO Ruth Hollman. They brainstormed about how to create the ideal place for people work on their recovery. Three members came up with the name “SHARE!” because people heal by sharing their stories, strength and hope. Another community member donated an existing nonprofit, the Emotional Health Association, of which SHARE! became the sole project. The attendees formed a board to bring this vision to life. SHARE! initially opened its doors in 1993 in Venice, California. Today they operate support centers in both Culver City and Downtown Los Angeles.
