Betty Griffin Center names new chief financial officer

Posted

The Betty Griffin Center hired Palm Coast resident Henry Estrada as its new chief financial officer.

“We were fortunate to find someone with Henry’s experience so quickly in our current economic environment, and especially a CFO that has worked extensively in the nonprofit sector and is also very familiar with our existing software systems,” said Betty Griffin Center CEO Joyce Mahr.

Estrada previously served as chief financial officer for The House Next Door, Inc., a nonprofit based in Deland, that provides family-centered programs including counseling, in-home family support and after-school support and mentoring.

Prior to that, Estrada served as a financial consultant for Children’s Village, a social service organization, and also served as controller with the St. John’s Welfare Federation in St. Augustine — and held the same position with Children’s Village in Dobbs Ferry, New York.

Fluent in English and Spanish, Estrada received his bachelor’s of science degree in business administration from C.W. Post College at Long Island University, after receiving an associate’s in applied science degree in economics. He also received certification as a junior fellow through the United Way of New York Baruch College of Public Affairs.

The Betty Griffin Center was founded in 1990 by concerned citizens and incorporated as the Safety Shelter of St. Johns County to develop plans to provide shelter for local victims of domestic violence and their children.
