ST. JOHNSBURY – The Northeast Kingdom Council on Aging (NEKCOA) has appointed Darryl Washington as its new executive director.
Washington succeeds Meg Burmeister, who recently retired after more than nine years of leadership at the council.
Washington brings leadership experience and a focus on strategic planning, community collaboration and quality improvement. In his new role, he will guide NEKCOA’s mission of helping older adults remain safe, independent and connected within their communities across Caledonia, Orleans, and Essex counties.
During her tenure, Burmeister helped strengthen NEKCOA’s programs and services for older adults throughout the Northeast Kingdom while guiding the organization through a period of growth and expanded community impact. Burmeister contributed to the broader aging services network through work and collaboration at the state and national levels.
NEKCOA provides a wide range of services that support older Vermonters and their families, including case management, caregiver support, nutrition programs, volunteer opportunities and access to resources.
