Hospice Foundation announces the appointment of Siobhan Greene
as its new president and chief executive officer, succeeding Alice Kinsler who last
summer announced her plans to retire at the end of June, 2013.
Greene, who has served as executive director of Voices for Children - CASA of Monterey County since 2005, will begin her new post with the Foundation on August 5.
“After a nationwide search, we are thrilled to find someone of Siobhan’s caliber locally to lead Hospice Foundation into the future,” said Ralph Thompson, III, chair of the Hospice Foundation board of directors.
“She brings many years of experience in nonprofit executive management, fundraising, board governance, financial and analytical acumen to her new position,” said Thompson. “The board and staff could not be more thrilled with her selection.”
"I am very honored to be chosen for this position and look forward to working with such a fine board and staff," said Greene. "The work of Hospice Foundation is critical to supporting dignified and compassionate end-of-life care and ensuring services are available throughout our community."
Greene has a long history as an advocate for children’s issues and involvement in the community. She joined CASA in 2002 as director of development, becoming executive director three years later. Prior to that she was director of marketing for Four Sisters Inn in Monterey, and has served in other administrative and management capacities locally and in the Bay Area.
Under Greene’s leadership, Voices for Children - CASA has grown dramatically in both its service to children and its role to help improve the foster care system. The organization has quadrupled in size, serves hundreds of children a year, has been recognized with numerous awards, and successfully launched San Benito County CASA, which effective July 1, will be an independent entity.
She holds a bachelor’s degree in therapeutic recreation from St. Joseph’s College, in Brentwood, New York. Greene serves on and is the immediate past chair of the Juvenile Justice Commission for Monterey County; is a board member for the California CASA Association and CASP (Community Alliance for Safety and Peace); and participates in various county system-of-care committees including the local implementation team of the Blue Ribbon Commission on Children in Foster Care. Greene is active in Carmel-by-the-Sea Rotary and is the past President of the local chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.
Under Kinsler’s leadership, Hospice Foundation has awarded more than $20 million in grants locally. This funding has expanded the availability of hospice services in the region, including specialized children’s services, opened palliative care programs in the region’s four hospitals, and provided support for a variety of grief support and end-of-life educational programs. Read about the grants that were awarded in the fall of 2012, now at work in the local community.
“It’s been an honor serving in this role for so many years,” Kinsler said, “and now Siobhan will bring her strong leadership capabilities and fundraising experience to the role and continue to steward the hospice mission going forward in our community.”
