Former East End Arts president joins hospice board

John McLane, a former president of East End Arts, has joined the board of directors of East End Hospice, the organization announced.

Mr. McLane has served on the hospice’s Finance Committee since 2017.

“I am honored to join the Board of Directors and look forward to continuing to support its important mission in our community,” the Peconic resident said.

He sat on the East End Arts board from 2015 to 2025 and served two terms as president.

Mr. McLane retired in 2014 as president of GCube Insurance Services, which specializes in insurance for renewable energy projects. He also served seven years in the Navy’s nuclear submarine service. He has also volunteered with Peconic Baykeeper, the Bluewater Task Force and the Southold Peconic Civic Association.

East End Hospice provides end-of-life care and bereavement support across eastern Long Island, including in patients’ homes and through programs for grieving adults and children.

“John brings a genuine commitment to our community and the people we serve,” said Mary Crosby, the hospice’s president and CEO. “We are fortunate to have him take on this expanded role.”
