The YWCA of New Britain hosted its 14th biennial Women in Leadership luncheon recently at the Aqua Turf Club in Plantsville. This year?s?group of ?Women in Leadership? included 12 honorees and six inductees into the Academy of Women Leaders.? One of this year?s honorees is Erin?Joudrey, Director of Community-based Care at?Klingberg Family Centers.
Erin is most deserving of recognition?for her outstanding work.? She began her career at Klingberg Family Centers in 1998 working with pre-adolescent children facing behavioral health issues. Since that time she has made her mark on the lives of scores of boys and girls, earned a Masters Degree in Social Work, and taken on increasingly demanding leadership roles in the organization.
Known for her cheerful, enthusiastic spirit, Erin embraces new challenges. Her roles have included serving as Director of the Therapeutic Foster Care Program. In that capacity several years ago, she headed up a redesign of our specialized foster care and adoption services that involved participation in many statewide meetings and training staff in new models of care. Currently, Erin oversees the agency?s three group homes for teens and is working hard on opening a fourth group home.?
Erin is driven by a passion for helping young people overcome the tragic consequences of trauma and move forward to a more promising future. As she has advanced into supervisory and administrative roles, Erin appreciates the opportunity to inspire her staff to always treat children and families with genuine respect and seek to understand their unique situations. She is dedicated to hiring a diverse staff that reflects and appreciates the diversity of the clients we serve.Erin realizes that advocacy is an essential component of working with children and families who often have no voice.? Her greatest fulfillment has been witnessing the healing and restoration that takes place when abused children come to know they are loved and have tremendous value.
In keeping with her heart of compassion, Erin also enjoys volunteering for the Connecticut Humane Society.
