Meet Ned, Our Executive Director

Meet Ned Delmore, our Executive Director at St. Vincent de Paul of Seattle/King County, one of our area’s oldest and most stable community service organizations for over 90 years. The organization’s mission is to go to the poor and serve them “face to face” when they need immediate emergency assistance and other support services.

Delmore states: “We are a mission-driven organization and will seek out those brothers and sisters in need.  The poor know and trust St. Vincent de Paul, so it is imperative that we serve them.”

Delmore brings over 35 years of experience in working to turn lives around in juvenile departments in both King and Kitsap Counties. He has managed at every level within the juvenile court system.

He is credited with others for making Kitsap County’s juvenile justice system more rehabilitative by creating systems and policy changes through evidence based programs, preventative services such as transitional school programs, and specialized courts to address root causes of drug, alcohol, and mental health.

A licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Washington, he is a longtime Seattle resident, attended Seattle Prep and graduated from Garfield High School.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology from Central Washington University and a Master’s degree in Rehabilitation from Seattle University.  He was an outstanding basketball player in high school and college and credits being a team player on the court with framing his leadership role at SVDP.

He and his wife Janet, an elementary school teacher, have three adult children and two grandchildren.
