Board Updates

Another area where partnerships shine at Community Services for Children is through the actions of our Board of Directors, and we are especially grateful for their guidance in these ever-changing times we are now faced with. We warmly welcome our new Chairperson of the Community Services for Children Board of Directors, Camie Modjadidi, as we send a grateful farewell to our former chair, Jay Kshatri.

Camie has been a standing member of our board since 2018 and has accepted the role of chairperson. She is a career educator with experience ranging from early childhood education through graduate school. She is recently retired from Moravian College’s Education Department and brings career-long experience working with young people of all ages.

Sadly, we say farewell to Jay as our trusted chairperson. Paula Margraf, the CEO, remarked “Jay has been a calm, purposeful, compassionate leader of our board, and helped us through so many changes, including changes in leadership, structure, and the enormous growth of the organization. He has always been present for us whenever we needed his help. Jay’s thinking about the world, what was right for children, and what could be realized, was a guiding force and helped shape our decisions.”

We are fortunate for the expertise of our newest board members and welcome:

• Rev. Dr. Christine Nelson of Allentown, retired Director of Seminary Advancement at Moravian Seminary/College.
• Charles Stinner of Schnecksville, Vice-President of Taxes at Air Products.
• Pamela Whitt of Phoenixville, Human Resources Project Manager Contractor at Comcast.
