Margaret “Peggy” Gillette Ogden will start as the foundation’s interim executive director on July 1, the foundation said in a news release.

Ogden served as president and CEO of the Central New York Community Foundation from 1988 to 2008. She retired from that role in 2008 and has been the principal consultant of Peggy Ogden, LLC, a consulting firm for foundations, donors, and not-for-profit organizations. She is also a director of Alliance Financial Corp.
