After serving more than 30 years as the executive director of The Mayhew Program — an organization that offers school mentoring and a residential summer program for at-risk boys — Jim Nute will be stepping down at the end of the year.
During his tenure with Mayhew, Nute grew the program to an eight-year experience for participants, earning both statewide and national recognition along the way.
When announcing his decision to leave, Nute said, “I have been changed by these 30 years with Mayhew. The boys, families, staff, and trustees have taught me so much about being a professional, about being a good person — about living. I’ve tried to give back in kind. I hope I’ve been more successful than not.”
Board President Jim Fitts said of Jim’s transition, “Jim’s contribution to Mayhew as its executive director will be recognized as long as there is a Mayhew. When celebrating the accomplishments of the program over the past 54 years, Jim’s tenure as ED and Mayhew’s growth under his leadership will be acknowledged as the keystone to its future.
“Jim cannot be replaced, but the Board and staff will work tirelessly together to create another era of excellence under new leadership. In his full message to the community, Jim notes the comprehensive evaluation being completed which will inform and shape that future, and our commitment is to find the best leadership available to take us there. As difficult as it is to say goodbye to Jim, we wish him and his family the very best in their next adventure and know that he will be both helping and cheering Mayhew on as we build the next chapter.”
