A Message from Incoming CEO, Greg Garrett: A Personal Commitment to Supporting Children and Strengthening Families
“I am incredibly excited and humbled to be joining the Family Support Services (FSS) team as your new Chief Executive Officer! What drew me to FSS is the profound connection between the agency’s mission and my own life journey. As a mixed-race youth raised by my immigrant mother in a low-income family, I understand firsthand the challenges our families face. The compassionate behavioral health counselors who guided and supported me during that time were a life-changing experience that sparked my lifelong passion for community service.
I see my story reflected in the hope FSS provides to children and their caregivers every day. Providing every child the support they need to thrive and empowering parents and caregivers to create safe, healthy, and nurturing environments that help their children grow up happy and reach their full potential. My background in community health and behavioral services is dedicated to ensuring we deliver this essential support with excellence and compassion.
To our incredible staff, the families we serve, and our partners: I promise to lead with empathy and active listening. I care deeply about building an inclusive environment where everyone feels valued. I’m excited to get started, but more importantly, I look forward to listening and learning from each of you as we move FSS forward. Thank you for welcoming me. I can’t wait to work with you all to advance this essential mission!”
