The Mockingbird Society board of directors named Natalie Lente its executive director, effective Monday, November 28. As a nonprofit executive with experience in both Washington state community agencies and local government, Lente will work to advance The Mockingbird Society's mission of transforming the foster care system and ending youth homelessness. Most recently, Lente served as the chief external affairs officer at Child Care Resources, leading the agency's policy/advocacy, fundraising, public partnerships, and communications work. She was formerly the health services administrator for the Health Care for the Homeless Network at Public Health – Seattle & King County. Lente succeeds interim executive director Peter Bloch Garcia, who assumed the role in 2021. For over 20 years, Mockingbird has created, supported, and advocated for racially equitable, healthy environments that develop and empower young people who have experienced —or are experiencing—foster care or homelessness.
