Eddy County, NM — The Board of Directors of the United Way of Eddy County is announcing a transition in executive leadership. Executive Director Kyle Marksteiner will be stepping down to accept a new position with the City of Carlsbad, and Serina Lyons has been appointed as Interim Executive Director.

During his tenure as Executive Director, Marksteiner led key initiatives aimed at strengthening community partnerships and expanding support for vital programs across Eddy County.

“Kyle came into the organization during a challenging time of transition and has not only helped grow the United Way of Eddy County but has helped our community,” said Niki Herring, President. “Kyle leads with his heart, and it is because of his leadership and kindness that the organization has become what it is today. We wish him luck in his new position.”

To ensure a smooth transition and continuous support for ongoing programs and community campaigns, the Board of Directors has named Serina Lyons as Interim Executive Director. Lyons brings a wealth of experience, organizational knowledge, and deep dedication to the mission of the United Way of Eddy County.

“We are incredibly fortunate to have Serina step into this role,” said Herring. “Her leadership and passion for community will ensure that our work serving Eddy County continues without interruption. Serina has proven nonprofit experience, and we are excited to see what she brings to the United Way.”

Costs add up, and sometimes a little help can make a big difference.

Thanks to a Chevron Catalyst Grant from the Carlsbad Community Foundation, United Way of Eddy County is proud to offer Loads of Hope, a program designed to help eligible seniors, Southeast New Mexico College students, and households meeting United Way ALICE income guidelines with the cost of laundry.

Approved participants will receive a box of laundry detergent sheets and a Loads of Hope punch card redeemable at The Laundry Basket, located at 521 S. Canal Street in Carlsbad.

If you're struggling to make ends meet, a little help with laundry expenses can free up money for other household needs.
