INDIANAPOLIS (December 10, 2008) – Southeast Neighborhood Development (SEND), a non-profit organization serving the city’s near southeast side, has promoted Julie Beaubien to vice president. Beaubien has worked as SEND’s housing program manager since 2004.

In her new position, Beaubien will assist SEND president Mark Stewart in managing the organization’s day-to day operations, including real estate development, personnel management and fundraising efforts. She’ll continue handling the housing program manager’s duties such as counseling homebuyers for homeownership and maintaining the softer issues of housing such as landlord-tenant relations, foreclosure education and pre- and post-homeowner education. She’ll also help implement SEND’s strategic plan as it works to continue supporting and revitalizing the neighborhoods just southeast of Downtown.

“We’re very pleased to have Julie as our vice president. Her hard work and dedication to community development have helped us accomplish important things,” Stewart said. “She’s an important asset for SEND and for the southeast community.”

Before coming to SEND, Beaubien worked at the Indianapolis Department of Metropolitan Development and also served in other planning and community development positions in Florida and Lafayette, Ind.

SEND is a non-profit community development corporation created by residents to revitalize the near southeast side of Indianapolis and to enhance the quality of life of its diverse spectrum of residents. Since 1991, SEND has invested more than $35 million dollars in affordable housing, commercial renovation, youth development, and greenspace improvements.
