Cardinal Services Names Maierle to New Role

Warsaw, Ind. ─ Cardinal Services is pleased to announce that Kyrié Maierle has stepped into the role of Director of Development, overseeing donor engagement and planned giving.

Maierle has been an integral part of the Cardinal Services development team for many years and now assumes additional leadership in guiding the Investing in People Society, a group of donors who have committed to walking alongside Cardinal for the long haul. This role is especially significant, because the society serves as a key indicator of Cardinal’s long-term sustainability.

In addition to strengthening donor relationships, Maierle also will lead Cardinal’s planned giving efforts, ensuring supporters have meaningful opportunities to leave a lasting legacy. Through her vision and dedication, she will continue to build strong partnerships that sustain and grow Cardinal’s mission for generations to come.

This transition follows the departure of Chris Plack, who has accepted a new opportunity with Bowen Health in Marshall County. Over the years, Plack and Maierle have worked closely together in various capacities, building strong donor relationships and advancing development efforts. Maierle now brings her extensive experience and unwavering dedication to this new chapter, ensuring both continuity and growth for Cardinal’s development initiatives.

“I’m honored to continue serving Cardinal Services in this expanded role,” Maierle said. “I look forward to building on the strong foundation we have and continuing to connect our amazing community of donors to the mission we serve.”

Cardinal Services Executive Director, Marcie Arndt, commended the development team for their accomplishments and reflected on this moment of transition.

“Chris has brought tremendous energy and creativity to our development efforts. His ability to build authentic relationships with donors has left a lasting legacy, and we are grateful for the impact he has made during his time with us. At the same time, we look forward with great excitement to the future under Kyrié’s leadership and the continued growth of our development work.”

Plack, whose last day will be October 17, shared his gratitude, saying, “Over the last two years, Cardinal has given me the opportunity to grow in ways that I will never forget and be forever grateful for. Although I am moving on, I will continue to be a champion for the mission of Cardinal Services.”
