The not-for-profit said it hoped to line up a replacement by the time O’Connor departs but also said the “priority is finding the right candidate to lead the organization into the future.” The center’s board of directors has set up a search committee.
O’Connor joined the center after working as senior director of public policy at Planned Parenthood of Indiana. She previously led the Indiana Criminal Justice Institute.
