The Family Tree Taps Stacy Brown To Be Next Executive Director
Baltimore, MD – The Family Tree, a recognized
leader in child abuse prevention and an affiliate of LifeBridge Health,
announced today that after an expansive search it has selected Stacey Brown to
be the next Executive Director of the organization. For the better part of the
last decade, Brown has worked at The Family Tree as director of Programs and
Research and as Manager of Family Education and Support Services. Brown
succeeds Patricia Cronin who retired earlier this year.
“From a field of over 100
candidates, Stacey excelled in demonstrating herself as leader with
vision, empathy, and a clear understanding of utilizing modern strategies to
strengthen families in our community,” says Adam Rosenberg, vice president for Violence
Prevention and Intervention at LifeBridge Health. “Along with bringing
fresh ideas, a solid plan forward and an engaging presence, her history with
The Family Tree, Maryland, and the field itself were seen as strong assets for
our next leader. Stacey will be instrumental in helping us establish The Family
Tree as a center of excellence and leading the organization for years to come.”
Brown’s background is deeply rooted in working with families who
have experienced trauma and abuse and are in need of support. In addition to
her work at The Family Tree, Brown held positions at Baltimore Regional Housing
Partnership and at University of Maryland Medical Center in their Family
Informed Trauma Treatment Center.
“I am excited to move into the role of executive director at The
Family Tree, an organization close to my heart where I look forward to
continuing to make a positive impact for years to come,” says Brown. “There is
nothing more gratifying than working on behalf of Maryland families to prevent
child maltreatment statewide.”
For over 50 years, The Family Tree has provided life-changing
parenting education and support to families committed to breaking the cycle of
child abuse and strengthening their families.
The Family Tree has locations on Charles Street in Baltimore and in
Prince George’s County, Maryland.
