New Chief Programming Officer is No Stranger: Lani Vivirito, the new CFH Chief Programming Officer, is no stranger to Center guests.
Lani has worked at CFH for the last five years as a counselor with the Genesis program.
Lani assumed her new duties last Monday. Her office is on the second floor, next to the women/family living quarters.
As Chief Programming Officer, Lani will be overseeing coaching, education and job retention, housing/transition, and the Child Development Center.
The regulars in her Anger Management sessions should not be upset, according to Lani. Genesis will continue to run those in her absence. Times will be determined.
“I feel pretty good,” said Lani after one week in her new position. “I feel I have an advantage having been an agency partner the last five years.”
Lani, a licensed clinical social worker, received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Illinois and her masters from the University of Chicago. She and her husband, Patrick, have a two-year-old daughter, Kyria.
