Amy Gill, new Executive Director of Resolana
We’re excited to introduce you to Amy Souders Gill, the new Executive Director of Resolana!
Unanimously selected by Resolana’s Board of Directors after an extensive search, Amy will take the helm of Resolana on April 9.
Amy joins Resolana at a vital turning point for the organization, according to founder Bette Buschow.
“The next steps for Resolana lie in organizational development and capacity building,” Bette explains. “Amy has the ideal background to take us to the next level in these areas. Her experience and passion for our mission uniquely qualify her to lead Resolana in the years ahead.”
Amy is the former Director of Development & Public Relations at Nexus Recovery Center, which
provides specialized substance abuse assistance to Dallas women.
Amy has a master’s degree in public administration as well as criminology, and began her
career as a parole officer for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Her background
includes work in the non-profit sector at the Mental Health Association of Greater Dallas and
with the Metro Dallas Homeless Alliance. She has also spent about seven years working in city
government in Frisco.
In talking about the transition to a new leader, Amy says, “I am honored to accept the reins from Bette — without her vision and leadership, the women within the Dallas County jail system would not have access to life-altering programs that empower incarcerated women. I am 100% committed to Resolana’s mission and look forward to working with all the people who make this wonderful program possible.”
“We are very fortunate that Bette will remain as Program Director,” adds Fran Tynan, President of Resolana’s Board of Directors. “Programming is Bette’s first love, and her continued involvement with Resolana will ensure that there will be zero interruption in the vital services we provide.”
