SEQUIM – Bob Schilling, executive director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula, has left his post.
“He resigned on his own,” on Monday, said Jerry Sinn, president of the organization’s board of directors.
Sinn deferred to Schilling when asked the reasons for the chief’s departure; Schilling couldn’t yet be reached.
Sinn emphasized that services will be uninterrupted to the children and teens who go to the clubs in Port Angeles and Sequim after school each weekday.
“We have our extremely qualified interim manager, Mary Budke, in place while we seek the executive leadership that will lead the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Olympic Peninsula,” Sinn said in a statement.
Until Monday, Budke was unit director of the Sequim Boys & Girls Club at 400 W. Fir St. As interim manager, she will also oversee the Port Angeles club at 2620 S. Francis St.
Schilling, 56, was named executive director in July 2007. He is a retired Washington State Patrol sergeant, and from 2003 through early 2007 was the district executive for the Boy Scouts of America’s Mount Olympus District, which covers Clallam and Jefferson counties.
