La Junta Directiva de Casey Family Programs anunci\u00f3 la selecci\u00f3n de Walter Howard Smith, Jr., Ph.D., como su pr\u00f3ximo presidente. Smith asumir\u00e1 el cargo el 1 de junio y suceder\u00e1 a David C. Mills, quien se jubila.<\/p>\n

Smith, quien se uni\u00f3 a la Junta Directiva de Casey en 2018, posee una gran experiencia profesional en servicios para la infancia y la familia. Est\u00e1 jubilado del condado de Allegheny (Pensilvania).<\/p>\n

Departamento de Servicios Humanos (DHS) en Pittsburgh, donde se desempe\u00f1\u00f3 como director cl\u00ednico del DHS y director adjunto de Ni\u00f1os, J\u00f3venes y Familias. Anteriormente, Smith fue director ejecutivo de Family Resources, una organizaci\u00f3n privada sin fines de lucro que previene y trata el abuso infantil atendiendo a m\u00e1s de 20,000 ni\u00f1os, j\u00f3venes y adultos en la regi\u00f3n de Pittsburgh.<\/p>\n

\u201cEl fundador de Casey Family Programs, Jim Casey, cre\u00eda en fortalecer a las familias para asegurar que puedan criar ni\u00f1os seguros, felices y saludables\u2019, dijo Smith, quien es psic\u00f3loga licenciada con pr\u00e1ctica privada especializada en el tratamiento de ni\u00f1os, parejas y familias. \u201dMe siento profundamente honrada de haber sido seleccionada para facilitar la labor de nuestros comprometidos y diligentes s\u00edndicos mientras apoyamos el trabajo de un personal incre\u00edble y un director ejecutivo visionario, el Dr. William C. Bell\u201c.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith es miembro fundador del Western Pennsylvania Family Center, un centro de recursos educativos para personas legas y profesionales interesadas en la terapia familiar y los estudios familiares.<\/p>\n

\u201cWalter aporta un profundo conocimiento de los desaf\u00edos que enfrentan los ni\u00f1os vulnerables y sus familias, junto con un compromiso con la equidad en todo el trabajo de Casey\u201d, dijo Mills. \u201cR\u00e1pidamente se ha ganado el respeto de los dem\u00e1s miembros de la Junta Directiva y ser\u00e1 un excelente presidente\u201d.\u201d<\/p>\n

Smith recibi\u00f3 el premio Albert B. Craig, Jr. a la innovaci\u00f3n en salud mental de la Fundaci\u00f3n Staunton Farm y el premio Champion of Hope and Healing del Centro de Defensor\u00eda Infantil del Hospital Infantil de Pittsburgh de UPMC.<\/p>\n

Mills se incorpor\u00f3 a la Junta de Fideicomisarios en diciembre de 2007 y asumi\u00f3 la presidencia en 2016. Sus casi 30 a\u00f1os de experiencia en finanzas institucionales resultaron de un valor incalculable para guiar a la organizaci\u00f3n a trav\u00e9s de condiciones econ\u00f3micas dif\u00edciles y los impactos de una pandemia mundial. El legado de Mills continuar\u00e1 mientras Casey mantiene su compromiso de construir comunidades de esperanza y trabajar hacia una transformaci\u00f3n duradera del sistema de bienestar infantil en un verdadero sistema de bienestar para la infancia y la familia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
