Celebrating the Retirement of UCAN CEO Shaun Pritchard

After more than five years of dedicated leadership, UCAN announces the retirement of CEO Shaun Pritchard. Shaun joined UCAN during an exceptionally challenging time and helped guide the agency through the COVID-19 pandemic, expanded critical services across our region, and led major efforts to address homelessness and community recovery.

From launching the Gary Leif Navigation Center in Roseburg to expanding shelter and outreach services in Grants Pass, Shaun’s impact has been deeply felt across Douglas and Josephine counties. His vision and leadership helped UCAN grow stronger and more responsive to community needs.

We are grateful for all that Shaun has contributed to UCAN and wish him all the best in his next chapter. UCAN’s Chief Operating Officer, Jordan Jungwirth, will step in as Interim CEO during this leadership transition.
