Mark Dunkerley
Nashville-based nonprofit Oasis Center has announced that president and CEO Mark Dunkerley will step down after four years in the role.
The change is set to take effect in June, with a new CEO and president to be named at that time, according to a press release.
Dunkerley had been with the youth services organization for 15 years, working as development director and chief strategy officer before taking the top spot at the start of 2021. During his tenure, the organization grew from $4 million to $7.2 million in revenue, and Dunkerley helped to secure a Youth Homelessness Demonstration Project Grant, according to the release.
Oasis Center has not named a successor, and Dunkerley has not yet announced his next career move.

“During his tenure, Mark has been instrumental in driving development growth to support programming and building partnerships within the community to create an ecosystem where youth can get the support they need. We wish Mark the very best in his next chapter and look forward to building on the strong foundation he helped establish as we look to find our next great leader.”
