FORT WAYNE — Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana, a local nonprofit providing comprehensive supportive services to families facing cancer, has recently announced that Dianne May, president and chief executive officer, will retire at the end of 2025.

May has served as the nonprofit’s top executive since 2003.

“Serving as the president and CEO of Cancer Services has been a privilege and the highlight of my professional career,” said May. “I am honored by the trust donors, clients and the CSNI board have placed in me for the past 22 years.”

The board of directors for Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana has formed a search committee and engaged a professional consultant to help guide the transition. The search committee expects to begin accepting applicants in August.

The board of directors will make all decisions with our mission and the people we serve at the forefront.”

Calinski also assured constituents that the transition will have a minimal impact on the services provided to local families.
