Ethier joined The Wesley Community in 2016 as a foundation assistant. She earned a series of promotions beginning in 2017 to marketing and advancement associate, development manager in 2018 and assistant director of The Wesley Foundation in 2021. During her tenure as assistant director, Ethier led The Wesley Foundation’s event series and oversaw its grant program.
In her new role as executive director of The Wesley Foundation, she will work with Wesley’s Senior Management team and the foundation’s board of directors to generate funding to enhance the lives of Wesley’s residents and clients.
“I am so grateful to the team here at The Wesley Community for trusting me and allowing me the opportunity to grow and advance in my career,” Ethier said. “I look forward to stepping into this new role and continuing the important work of the Foundation.”
Roselan, a newcomer to The Wesley Community, will oversee the 40-bed assisted living facility’s operations and staff while promoting Wesley’s core tenets of exemplary care and compassion for all residents. Her background features extensive management and customer service experience which most recently included her work at Highmark BlueShield Northeastern New York in Latham. Roselan earned a master’s degree in social work from Rutgers University.
“Joining the Wesley and Woodlawn family has been an incredible experience,” said Roselan. “The residents and care team have been extraordinarily welcoming and helpful as we navigate this new era together.”
Dixon will continue his oversight of all marketing and development functions for the nonprofit organization. Additionally, his portfolio will expand to include leadership support for the directors of Woodlawn Commons Independent and Assisted Living communities as well as Wesley Senior Solutions home care services.
Dixon spent his past eight years as executive director of The Wesley Foundation spearheading all marketing and development efforts for the fundraising arm of The Wesley Community.
