Brett succeeds Rev. J. Craig Statton, who retired on September 30, 2024, after serving 10 years in the role.
Brett has vast non-profit experience, having formerly served as the CEO of the Community Food Bank of Central Alabama and spent over 17 years with the Salvation Army in various roles, including State Director for Business in Texas and Executive Director.
After a national search that included key candidates interviewing with the Board of Trustees, community members, and leadership, we are thrilled to have found a perfect fit for Atherton. Brett’s executive-level experience spans operations, finance, and compliance. His strategic vision and leadership skills make him the ideal contender to lead Atherton into the future for growth, modernization, and advancement.
He readily embraces Atherton’s vision of an active, vibrant, neighborly community that encourages aging in a Christ-centered environment and whole-person health and wellness.
The newly appointed CEO shared his thoughts on his new role: “Atherton embodies a profound culture of kindness, compassion, and a lasting commitment to serving in the spirit of Christ. I am confident that the organization is well positioned to continue its legacy of excellence.”
“Atherton’s’ team-centered philosophy aligns perfectly with my own values,” said Brett. “I am eager to collaborate with the Board, leadership team, residents, employees, and the broader community to further enhance Atherton as a leading senior living provider.”
