ROCKFORD — Retired journalist Wally Haas has been selected to lead a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance the city’s social and economic well-being.
Haas is the new executive director of Transform Rockford, which formed a decade ago with a goal of elevating the city into a “Top 25 Community by 2025.” The organization had been without a top executive for more than two years.
He started work for the nonprofit on Tuesday and fills a void in the organization created by the departure for former Transform Rockford executive director David Sidney in May 2021. Sidney now runs Place Foundry, a strategic development firm.
