Andrew Applegate
President & CEO, since 2016
For nearly 30 years, I have had the opportunity to be involved in a vocation where my gifts, my calling, and even my weaknesses have found a home. My greatest desire as a leader is to create environments where an individual’s mission and passion comes together to achieve a bigger purpose.
My mantra as of late has been, “At Arbor Acres, we set the stage for life’s next great performance.” To me, each of us is looking for the opportunity to play the unique role we were created to play. Seeing the wonderful expressions of residents and our staff’s unique art coming together to create something bigger and beautiful is what sets Arbor Acres apart from the rest.
