Mennonite Central Committee Manitoba has appointed Darryl Loewen as its new executive director. Loewen joins MCC after serving as principal at Mennonite Collegiate Institute (MCI) in Gretna.

“I’ve always deeply admired the work of MCC, and I am excited to step into that mission. I look forward to being part of the really important work MCC does with justice, peace and cultural understanding at a time when organizations like MCC need to be out front. This is not an easy calling but one I look forward to,” Loewen said in a release.

Loewen takes over as executive director in August. Peter Rempel will continue to serve as interim executive director until then.

The search for a new executive director began as a result of the departure of Ron Janzen. Janzen, a former Steinbach resident who worked previously as a vice-president of corporate services with South Eastman Health, has moved into that same health care role, this time with the Interlake-Eastman Regional Health Authority.
