Youth and Family Advocates getting new leader
NEW PORT RICHEY – Mark Wickham will retire as president and CEO of Youth and Family Advocates on June 30 after 13 years of service.
“For over a decade, Mark has led YFA with a passion for service, building community partnerships, and creating resources to support children and families across our seven-county service area,” Board Chair Nicholas Ottaviano emailed supporters. “His greatest legacy is the team he has cultivated: leaders who are courageous, humble and unwavering in their commitment to YFA’s mission and the children and families we serve.”
Susan Eby, who has served as chief operating officer, will replace Wickham as president and CEO.
“Her leadership is grounded in data-driven decision-making and a deep understanding of quality improvement in human services,” Ottaviano wrote. “Throughout her career, Susan has demonstrated a deep commitment to advancing social and emotional wellness at both individual and community levels.”
