CBHL has a CEO!

January 27, 2021 by Holly Salazar

Dear CBHL Colleagues,

It is with great pleasure the CBHL Board of Directors would like to announce a significant change to our infrastructure. 

Since inception in 1979, CBHL has operated under a model of contracted services – where staff and support positions functioned as independent contractors to support the work of the organization.  

As we position ourselves for the future to support our behavioral health leaders and the communities we serve, we want to reinforce our commitment to the advancement of our vision and mission.  To do this, our  Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the following actions:

  1. Transition from contracted staff to employed staff
  2. Convert the Director of Operations position to Chief Executive Officer.

We are happy to announce that Holly Salazar, currently serving as Director of Operations, will serve as the CBHL Chief Executive Officer, effective Friday, January 22, 2021.  

We are thrilled with this organizational change and look forward to a productive 2021.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. 

Thank you all for your commitment to CBHL.  

Wendy Varnell, President, CBHL Board of Directors
