In March 2020, the Children’s Bureau of New Orleans board of directors tapped Charlotte Cunliffe as its new CEO to lead the organization to continue to serve the mental health needs of children in New Orleans. Charlotte has more than 30 years of experience working with funders, nonprofits and community organizations around financial and strategic management as well as the development, use and dissemination of data, and information for organizational decision-making. In the past 12 years, her work has focused on mental health agencies in the New Orleans area and planning for financial sustainability in a rapidly changing and complex funding environment. Charlotte’s vast experience and credentials in strategic planning and financial management are critical to Children’s Bureau now as the organization finds itself in unchartered territory with the COVID19 pandemic.
