Jan. 30, 2014 - PRLog -- Northern Rivers Family Services, parent company of Parsons Child and Family Center and Northeast Parent & Child Society, announced today that its Board of Directors has appointed John Henley as Chief Executive Officer effective July 1, 2014. This planned transition for the $80 million agency will see Henley, who has served as Executive Vice President of Northern Rivers since its formation in 2012, succeed the retiring Raymond Schimmer.

“John Henley is uniquely qualified to lead Northern Rivers into the future,” said Tom Amell, President and CEO of Pioneer Bank and Chairman of the Northern Rivers Board of Directors. “In addition to his extraordinary compassion for and dedication to children, families and our community, he possesses the business acumen to lead an $80 million agency with 1,200 employees through a transformative period of growth and evolution.”

Mr. Henley joined Northeast as CEO in 2010 and assumed additional duties as Parsons CEO in 2012 under Northern Rivers. He previously served for 13 years as Executive Director of Elmcrest Children’s Center in Syracuse and for over 10 years as Executive Director of the Cayuga Home for Children in Auburn. The Syracuse native is a graduate of Le Moyne College and earned his Master’s Degree in Education from Syracuse University.

“I want us to create something to advance concepts and affect real, permanent change for children and families,” Mr. Henley said. “Our evolution will occur in direct response to the needs of the community, because answering those needs is the reason for our existence.”

“Every retiring executive should know that people like John Henley and the members of our Northern Rivers Senior Management Team will carry on the mission of his or her organization.  John and his staff know the work and love our community; watching them take things forward is going to be enormously gratifying,” Mr. Schimmer said.
