Seacoast Outright has a new executive director. Following an extensive search to locate the right mix of organizational management and programming skills combined with personal passion and commitment to Outright’s mission, the Granite State-wide LGBTQ+ youth advocacy nonprofit has chosen Heidi Carrington Heath.
“There’s never been a more important time to support our LGBTQ+ youth on the Seacoast,” Heidi said. “They’ve had an especially difficult couple of years, and we plan to continue to expand our programming and outreach to meet their needs.”
Heidi has worked in the LGBTQ+ movement for nearly 20 years. “A cornerstone of my career has been helping others be their truest selves” she said. “It is an honor to do this work in a new way in the community I have called home for nearly a decade.”
She is looking forward to working with the Seacoast community to continue strong programming, outreach, care, and resources for LGBTQ+ youth, their family, friends, and allies. Outside of work, she shares her life with her spouse, Heath (they/them), and their two cats, Moxie and Windsor. She enjoys reading, live music, gathering people she loves around a table of good food, and enjoying all the Seacoast has to offer.
Heidi officially starts on October 16. “We are thrilled to welcome Heidi on board,” said Board Chair Michael Haley. “Seacoast Outright has made enormous strides in the past few years. We are confident that Heidi’s experience and passion will solidify the progress we have made and propel us into our organization’s next chapter.”
