Jim Hayes will retire as the executive director of Urbandale-based Mind & Spirit Counseling Center at the end of this year. He has served eight years in the position and helped guide the center through the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, Mind & Spirits, which delivers essential services including therapy, medication management and spirituality programs, experienced a 150% increase in annual fundraising and the creation of two new endowments, according to a news release. Mind & Spirit’s board of directors has begun a search to fill the position. Hayes will remain involved throughout the transition.
