LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The former director of the Lincoln YWCA is scheduled to be sentenced in February on another theft conviction.
Online court records say 42-year-old Denise Serrett pleaded no contest on Tuesday and was convicted. The felony carries a maximum prison term of 20 years.
Serrett, who also is known as Denise Scholl-Serrett, had resigned in February days before she was sentenced to probation for stealing from a former employer.
In the YWCA case, she was accused of embezzling more than $34,000 between December 2011 and February. YWCA officials audited the nonprofit’s books after learning that Serrett had stolen thousands of dollars from Omaha-based property management company DEI Communities, where she had been vice president of human resources.
