PORT ANGELES — The executive director of Healthy Families of Clallam County said she was forced to resign without explanation last week by three of the nine nonprofit agency’s board members.
“They said they didn’t have to give me a reason. As far as I know I was doing a good job,” Laurey Hansen-Carl said on Wednesday.
The agency’s president Marlina Brooks, said Wednesday, “The board met the other day and decided they didn’t have any comment on our personnel decisions.”
Healthy Families of Clallam County provides programs to prevent and treat domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse in central and eastern Clallam County.
It serves more than 5,000 people, according to its 2005 annual report.
The agency’s largest funding source is state grants, which accounted for 64 percent of its 2005 budget of $544,856.
City and county funding provided 5 percent, or about $27,000. United Way funding provided another 5 percent.
Hansen-Carl said three board members — treasurer Tom Bihn, secretary Diane Weyerman and Brooks — asked her to resign last Thursday.
When she refused, she was told her employment was terminated, she said.
