WATERTOWN — CHJC recently announced the appointment of Lisa Parsons as the chair of its board of directors.
A dedicated advocate for children and families, Parsons brings years of leadership experience and a strong commitment to CHJC’s mission of serving the North Country community, the organization said. Her strategic insight, passion for service, and long-standing support of CHJC made her a strong choice to lead the board.
Parsons has served on CHJC’s board of directors since 2020, offering valuable guidance during a time of growth and innovation across the agency. As board chair, she will lead governance efforts and work closely with executive leadership to advance CHJC’s initiatives in behavioral health, foster care, youth development, and family preservation.
In addition to her leadership at CHJC, Parsons serves as the assistant superintendent at South Jefferson Central School District. Her deep understanding of the challenges facing today’s youth is a valuable asset to CHJC’s mission of “creating opportunities to enhance lives one relationship at a time,” the organization contended.
“I am proud to welcome Ms. Parson as our new Board Chair. Her unwavering dedication to our community and her commitment to empowering youth and families through opportunities for success exemplify the values we hold dear. Her leadership and mentorship will undoubtedly guide CHJC into a new and impactful strategic phase, and I am excited to work alongside her to achieve our shared vision,” Michelle L. Monnat, CHJC president and CEO, said in the announcement.
Parsons succeeds Greg Dalpe as board chair. “Mr. Dalpe’s exceptional leadership during a period of rapid change and economic uncertainty allowed us to stabilize while recommitting to our core values. His strategic vision and steadfast commitment have laid a strong foundation for our continued growth and impact,” Monnat stated.
CHJC serves more than 3,000 individuals each year across Jefferson, Lewis, and St. Lawrence counties, offering a broad range of services. Through compassionate, person-centered care, CHJC says it helps children, youth, and families navigate challenges, build resilience, and thrive in healthier, more stable environments.
