Daniel Zuckerman is reporting for Columbia-Greene Media Beth Horton is stepping down as executive director of the Catskill Community Center after more than two years on the job. Horton and her husband are moving to Delaware. “This has been a very difficult decision for me,” Horton said. “I just love the Community Center, I love what we represent, I love the staff that we have.” The Catskill Community Center Board created a search committee and it is currently advertising the open position and sorting through resumes. Horton intends to stay and assist her successor transition into the position. She will be a resource for the person who takes over, board Vice President Jeff Friedman said. Horton has been with the Community Center for five years. She worked in the after-school program and as the program coordinator before becoming executive director in January 2016.
