More DCYF Leadership Announcements

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.

• Director of the Office of Tribal Relations: Tleena Ives
• Director of the Office of External Affairs: Frank Ordway

Division of Operations and Infrastructure:

• Chief Financial Officer: Jenny Heddin
• Chief Information Officer: Aaron Mason
• Director of Administrative Services: Edith Hitchings
• Director of Provider Supports: Nicole Rose

In addition, I am appointing Vickie Ybarra as the Director of the Office of Innovation, Alignment and Accountability. Since last year she has been serving as the Director of Research and Policy for OIAA, and I am confident in her ability to lead this office.

We have strong internal candidates for the Assistant Secretary of Licensing position in the Operations and Infrastructure division, and so we will be interviewing them for this position in the next few weeks. Also, in the Programs for Children and Families division, we will open three team management positions in the next few weeks and we intend to recruit internally and externally for these. Finally, we will also be recruiting for a communications director in the coming weeks. Jobs will be posted to our jobs webpage — please help us spread the word.

Regards,

Secretary Ross Hunter
