New Executive Director Appointed at JFCS
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Carrie Hoops to the position of executive director at Jewish Family & Child Service (JFCS). Ms. Hoops has served as interim executive director since April 2014, and has been key in planning the recently announced consolidation of JFCS and Cedar Sinai Park, a human services agency in Portland focused on providing residential and community-based care to our elders and adults with special needs.
A lifelong Oregonian, Carrie formerly served as Executive Director of the Nonprofit Association of Oregon and as Executive Director of Literary Arts, a community-based nonprofit that serves readers and writers. She brings a wealth of nonprofit management experience to JFCS, including skills in change management, collaborative leadership, organizational assessments, fundraising and communications.
"JFCS does such stellar work to support at-risk community members as they transform their lives." said Ms. Hoops. "It's been deeply gratifying to work with the talented board and staff at JFCS during the past year. It's an honor to be appointed to lead the organization and to help inform our future direction."
