Marian Baldini to Retire as President & CEO of Kencrest

Marian Baldini has served as President & CEO at KenCrest since 2016. As a fierce advocate for people with disabilities, we extend our gratitude and appreciation for all of the work Marian has accomplished, including and especially in her capacity as President of the ANCOR Foundation Board of Directors.

Marian’s story is special. Here’s an excerpt  from an article KenCrest published to celebrate her legacy:

In 2016, KenCrest turned a new page in its history. For the first time, a woman stepped into the role of President and CEO, Marian Baldini, a trailblazer whose deep love for people and steadfast vision for inclusion would shape the organization for years to come. 

For 10 years, Marian has led not from above, but alongside her teams. She blended strategic vision with a deep belief in the power of every individual — staff, families, and the people KenCrest supports. She often said, inclusion isn’t just a practice; it’s who we are. Every voice mattered, every idea counted, and every person had the opportunity to shape the organization’s future.  

Her story began in 1977 as a Direct Support Professional in a group home inside the original Kensington Dispensary building, helping teens develop life skills for independence. Nearly four decades later, she returned to lead the very organization where her journey began. 

We wish Marian all the best for a happy retirement!
