The Florida Center for Early Childhood’s Board of Directors has selected Dr. Kristie Skoglund, Chief Operating Officer of the organization, to lead the agency. She will replace longtime Chief Executive Officer Kathryn Shea next month. “There is no one more deserving of this position,” said Jeff Woodin, Board Chair. “Kristie has worked for The Florida Center for more than 20 years, climbing the ranks from counselor to early childhood expert.” The Board of Directors unanimously voted to promote Skoglund on August 13, after determining she was best suited for the position. “I truly love the work of The Florida Center and I am humbled and honored to be chosen as the next CEO,” Skoglund said. “I definitely have some big shoes to fill! Kathryn has been an amazing leader who always encouraged me to grow and learn.”
