CITIZEN ADVOCATES WELCOMES NEW FINANCE, HUMAN RESOURCES LEADERS

Citizen Advocates has added two executive team members as it continues to grow and expand its presence into new communities.
 

The newest members of the Executive Leadership Team are Krista Bartlett, Chief Human Resources Officer and Eileen Cavalier, Chief Financial Officer.
 

“The full weight of the pandemic, and its impact on our whole health, especially for rural communities, continues to emerge,” said James Button, CEO of Citizen Advocates. “However, it is clear already that we need to place renewed focus on fiscal resiliency and supporting our workforce during unprecedented times.”
 

As Chief Human Resources Officer, Ms. Bartlett will support the enhancement of the department by partnering with employees to build positive, effective solutions that meet their needs.  She is also very tuned into national trends and the seismic shifts taking place in the labor market and using this knowledge to focus on strategies that promote workforce resilience.
