TAMPA – Better Together has hired Joy Harris as executive director of its Tampa Bay region.
At Better Together, Harris will work alongside CEO Megan Rose to oversee, support and grow Better Together’s presence in the greater Tampa Bay area.
She leads the development of Better Together programs locally and spearheads their growth by cultivating and building new relationships with donors, community partners, volunteers and churches.
The Virginia native is also a licensed clinical social worker who has devoted her career to seeing, serving and supporting those who are often overlooked and dismissed. She is grateful that her professional and volunteer roles have allowed her to walk alongside individuals from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
“We are thrilled to welcome Joy into this leadership role and watch her flourish as she serves families in the Tampa Bay community,” said Megan Rose, CEO of Better Together. “We know her commitment to empowering others and strengthening communities will be invaluable in this role. We are confident that her leadership will help strengthen families and bring lasting change, and we can’t wait to see all she accomplishes with Better Together.”
Better Together helps parents who are going through a hard time to keep their kids out of foster care, find work and address the root causes of their struggle so they can reunite as a family with the tools and support system to thrive.
With the help of donors and hundreds of volunteers and church communities, Better Together builds lasting support systems that help families cope with hardships, such as job loss, substance abuse, homelessness and incarceration. It ensures that children are cared for in a safe home until the family can be reunited.
