TOWN OF POUGHKEEPSIE – The Center for the Prevention of Child Abuse (CPCA) has named Marco Ingoglia as the agency’s new executive director, after a lengthy, widespread search. Ingoglia began immersing himself into his new role earlier this month, with the assistance of Interim Executive Director Rachel Johnson, incoming CPCA Board Chairwoman Renee Fillete, and the entire membership of the board of directors.
Ingoglia has over 15 years of senior leadership and extensive knowledge of nonprofit management. He brings to the CPCA a proven history of overseeing programs within the prevention, rehabilitation, disability, healthcare, and behavioral health fields, as well as ensuring the delivery of those programs is high quality and compliant. His leadership background also includes a comprehensive understanding of human resources, marketing, and quality improvement. Most recently, he served as the chief executive officer at The Center for Independent Living of the Birkshires.
“Our goal is to continue to be a resource to the children and families of the Hudson Valley, and in doing so provide the programmatic, quality, and financial sustainability to continue helping our community for generations to come,” said Ingoglia.
Incoming Board Chairwoman Renee Fillette was enthusiastic in describing the agency’s new director. Fillette, a veteran of the non-profit leadership community told Mid-Hudson News, “He (Ingoglia) just felt like the most right fit for us. “We really vetted him through our staff and some of our donors, and we made sure we really listened to the community about what they thought the leadership needed to look like at this point in time at the CPCA.”
Fillette said that “Ultimately, it’s the health and welfare of our children – our most vulnerable children,” that requires the CPCA to succeed in its mission to protect children.
The CPCA was founded in 1973 for the purpose of preventing child abuse and maltreatment in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Annually, the CPCA serves approximately 15,000 children and adults through prevention programming, support services, and educational training.
