The Arc Central Chesapeake Region (The Arc) is pleased to welcome back Becky Peter as Interim Chief Financial Officer (CFO) this week as Scott Reifsnyder, who has been The Arc’s CFO since August 2022, prepares to depart. Becky is returning to The Arc at a critical moment in time as the organization continues its pattern of constant growth.

“Becky worked at The Arc from 2019-2022 and her financial insights and dedication to our mission helped create the growth The Arc is still experiencing today,” says Jonathon Rondeau, President & CEO of The Arc. “Becky is a leader who already understands our processes, our culture, and our strategic focus. I am looking forward to working with her closely again.”

Becky previously led The Arc’s Corporate Finance team for years before retiring in early 2022. Coming out of retirement to support The Arc while a national search for a permanent financial leader is underway, a process that typically lasts several months, shows her unwavering support for our organization.

“I’m excited to be back as we head into what is arguably one of the most important times of year for Corporate Finance teams,” says Becky. “As we prepare FY2025 budgets, conduct audits, and prepare tax documents for 2023, I’ll be working with many of the same people I hired when I worked here previously, and I’m eager to come back home to The Arc, whose vision and mission are what motivate me to achieve here.”

The Arc is grateful for Becky’s ongoing support as we continue to innovate and expand our services throughout the region, find new ways to promote financial health and flexibility as an organization, and enter into the new year with a fresh perspective for the fiscal year ahead.
