Howard Center, Vermont’s largest provider of mental health, substance use and developmental supports and services, has promoted Chief Financial and Operations Officer Sandra McGuire to CEO. She succeeds Bob Bick, who retired in May.
“Bob leaves a remarkable legacy of numerous accomplishments as CEO,” said Kelly Deforge, president of the Howard Center Board of Trustees. “Sandy knows this agency and the issues our community faces so well. She’s the right leader to pick up the baton and expertly guide Howard Center through the coming years.”
McGuire has been at Howard Center for 25 years, starting in Intensive Child Services. She is a graduate of Virginia Tech and holds an MBA from Champlain College.
