A Message From Our New Executive Director, Laurie Sigalos
Since June, it has been my distinct honor to have accepted the role of Executive Director of Philipstown Behavioral Health Hub. I wish to express my gratitude to the Board of Directors for their faith and confidence in my abilities. I am eager to continue meeting everyone, learn more about your ideas, and commence our journey to bring the Hub to the next level. I look forward to our continued collaboration with such an enthusiastic and resolute team.
Summer 2022 has certainly been a busy and exciting time for all of us at the Hub! As we plan the next steps for our future as an organization, we continue to serve our community by providing confidential local access to mental health and addiction resources in Philipstown, New York.
When I discovered this job posting through social media, the organization’s name immediately attracted my attention. As soon as I read the job description and visited the Hub website, I was extremely impressed by the mission and comprehensive approach to addressing behavioral health and addiction concerns on a local and very personal level. Since then and throughout this entire process, everyone I have encountered has clearly exemplified a genuine desire to serve the critical needs of the residents of Philipstown.
The core tenets of the Hub are in direct alignment with my personal beliefs and professional journey. During the course of my career in the nonprofit, government, and private sectors, the most fulfilling times have been my leadership contributions involving advocacy for the most vulnerable populations in need of support and assistance.
I would also like to convey my gratitude to my predecessor, Danielle Pack-McCarthy. Her vision and dedication created a path which has led us all to where we are today. From all of us at the Hub, we are very thankful and deeply appreciate your ongoing support.
Warmest wishes,
Laurie
