The Fort Wayne Urban League has announced the termination of its chief executive officer. Matt Kelley, FWUL chairman, tells The Journal Gazette that after a year with the organization, Cosette Grant-Overton is no longer employed there.

Kelley told the publication that the board’s "vision is going in a different direction."

He said further details around the termination are not currently available, but that the organization is actively seeking out a replacement. In the meantime, Renetta Williams, the organization’s board secretary, will fill the position until a candidate is found. 

 Grant-Overton assumed the position of CEO last May.
