He will also oversee the development and planning of operational and technology systems.

“It’s an exciting time for Lifespace,” said Plance. “We’re in a great position financially and as an organization for future opportunities, such as acquiring additional communities and pursuing new lines of service. I’m confident the strategic plans for Lifespace and each of our communities will continue to propel all of us forward over the next decade – and beyond.”
