DENVER, CO (March 13, 2026) — Changent, the national organization supporting Nurse Family Partnership® and Child First, today announced the election of Jonathan Webb as Chair and Steven Summer as Vice Chair of the Board of Directors. Both leaders have served on the Changent Board (Jonathan since 2023 and Steven since 2024), bringing continuity and deep organizational knowledge to their new roles.
“Jonathan and Steven bring extraordinary leadership experience to their new roles as Chair and Vice Chair of the Changent Board,” said Charlotte Min-Harris, President and CEO of Changent. “Jonathan’s deep expertise in women’s health, obstetrics, and neonatal nursing, alongside Steven’s decades of executive leadership across major healthcare systems, will strengthen our ability to guide Changent’s mission with clarity, vision, and deep understanding of the communities we serve.”
“Our newly elected Chair and Vice Chair will be strengthened by the strong foundation laid by our outgoing leaders, Paurvi Bhatt and Richard Ostuw. During their three-year tenure as Chair and Vice Chair, they guided the organization through pivotal moments and positioned us for continued success. We are deeply grateful for their notable service—and equally grateful that they will continue to contribute their expertise as members of our Board of Directors,” said Min-Harris.
