We are excited to announce additional leadership hires for DCYF.

As Secretary Hunter mentioned in a previous post, my role at the Department of Children, Youth, and Families is to oversee the division of Programs for Children and Families. We have begun the challenging yet critical task of building a leadership team for this division. We announced a few weeks ago that Connie Lambert-Eckel and Marybeth Queral will be joining me in this work.

I am pleased to announce we have selected more excellent managers for our agency. All of these positions take effect July 1, 2018. You can read more about each of these leaders on our DCYF website.

As promised, we are presenting our next level of organizational structure for the new Department of Children, Youth, and Families. What we are outlining here is a model that describes the organization of functions within DCYF, not individuals. Getting this functional model in place allows us to start putting names in slots, but we have not completed that phase of the planning yet.
