Mosaic in Southeast Nebraska (mosaicinfo.org), a nonprofit that serves people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, welcomes Nate Panowicz as its new executive director and Catherine Sanders as its new associate director, effective June 1.
The change comes as Mosaic realigns leadership in the southeast and northeast Nebraska areas. Nic Batterton, executive director of Omaha, had also served in that role for Southeast Nebraska, which is based out of Lincoln. Batterton, in addition to continuing in Omaha, will become executive director of Northeast Nebraska as well. The new leadership structure will better support the rapidly growing Mosaic at Home shared living service.
Panowicz has been with Mosaic for 13 years—the last six of them in leadership roles. Sanders has been with Mosaic for 22 years, starting as a direct support professional in residential and day services; for the last eight years, she’s been in leadership roles.
“I’m looking forward to furthering Mosaic’s mission in Southeast Nebraska to ‘relentlessly pursue opportunities that empower people’ we serve to help them have a meaningful life in the way they choose,” said Panowicz.
Mosaic in Southeast Nebraska is part of Mosaic, a whole-person healthcare organization reaching across 13 states in more than 700 communities and providing supports to nearly 4,500 people. Mosaic is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. For more information, visit mosaicinfo.org.
