Northlands Rescue Mission fired its executive director after five months, citing values misalignment, sparking claims of retaliation and lack of transparency.
Everett C. Jones Sr., executive director of the Northlands Rescue Mission in Grand Forks, was abruptly terminated after five months without warning or explanation, according to Jones, who believes the dismissal may be retaliation for a disagreement with a board member.
He reported receiving positive performance feedback and said he helped expand programs and improve financial stability.
The board cited a misalignment with core values and goals as the reason for the termination, acknowledging Jones’s dedication but stating he was not the right fit.
An interim leadership transition is in place to ensure continuity.
Jones, who relocated for the job and has no local support network, expressed concern over the lack of transparency, plans to pursue remedies, and urged the community to focus on the mission’s ongoing work and accountability.
