Carrie Groff has stepped into the role of Interim Executive Director for Mid-Atlantic Crossroads (MAX). Groff joined MAX in 2022 as the Communications, Marketing, and Administrative Coordinator, where she successfully managed the organization’s participation in national and global conferences, oversaw event planning, and led press and media initiatives. She also played a key role in establishing the administrative structure of QLab, working closely with its Director to strengthen operational foundations.
