Child & Family Services’ new President & CEO, Elizabeth McPartland started this week. McPartland brings with her more than 20 years of Agency experience and knowledge that spans from administrative to clinically-based programs across Child & Family Services. She moves into the top executive post after serving as Chief Operating Office with Child & Family Services. The transition has been consumed by the Agency’s response to COVID-19.

McPartland has already been leading the Agency’s transition to a remote workforce while preparing to take on the new role of President & CEO.  She has worked her way up through the Agency and takes great pride in being a long-term employee. “In my over twenty years with C&FS, I have witnessed first-hand the incredible dedication that exists throughout our organization. I am in awe of the resilience our workforce has demonstrated these past few weeks, to transition their jobs in order to provide uninterrupted service delivery. I am so proud to lead this 147-year old organization that prides itself on ensuring the health and safety of everyone we serve, particularly during a time when our community needs it the most.”
