Ehrlich named executive director of SOS Outreach
VAIL — The board of directors of SOS Outreach last week announced the appointment of Seth Ehrlich to the position of executive director of the youth development nonprofit organization. Ehrlich has served at SOS for nearly 10 years, most recently as interim executive director while the executive committee conducted a national search for its new leader.
“Seth’s leadership is matched only by his passion and both characteristics have resulted in a team-approach to expanding SOS nearly four-fold and fundraising by 200 percent, as well as increasing program diversity,” said board president Buie Seawell, a professor at the University of Denver. “The future of SOS under Seth is very bright as it strives to be a nationally recognized, best-practice organization. His ability to execute vision while managing day-to-day operations is extraordinary.”
SOS serves 5,000 youth participants every year nationally. The program has seen a 380 percent increase in youth served since 2005. During the recently completed 2014-15 winter season, ski and snowboard participants increased to its highest number in the organization’s 20-year history.
