Sound Generations, formerly known as Senior Services – a non-profit organization that serves older adults and adults with disabilities in Washington State, has named Jim Wigfall, a long-standing executive leader for Boeing as its new Chief Executive Officer.
Wigfall replaces interim Chief Executive Officer, Susan Doerr. Sound Generations anticipates his 30-plus years of executive experience will enhance the vitality of the organization and propel its important work forward. Wigfall brings a sound business acumen, a vast understanding of a team-based systems approach to continuous improvement, as well as experience in fundraising, policy, and advocacy.
“This opportunity comes at a perfect time, both for me and for the organization,” said Wigfall. “I’m excited about guiding Sound Generations toward meeting the emerging and growing needs of one of the fast growing demographics in King County. What Sound Generations provides is so vital to our caring and committed community.”
As a baby boomer, Wigfall is actively assessing the desires of his aging parents who have emerging needs. They strive to actively lead their best lives possible while maintaining their independence. Wigfall is personally and professionally motivated to advance the mission of Sound Generations.
Wigfall holds board membership with the King County Library System, Special Olympics Washington, and the Citadel School of Business Advisory Board, his Alma mater. He holds a Master’s in Business Administration from the University of Tennessee. As Sound Generations’ next leader, this extensive knowledge will serve the organization well.
“Sound Generations is so very fortunate to secure a strategist like Jim Wigfall as our new Chief Executive Officer,” said Mark Stensager, Sound Generations Board Chair. “Jim will lead this organization towards a path of sustainable growth. As the board chair, I look forward to working with him.”
