A year<br />
of transition<br />
It’s easy to say th<strong>at</strong> 2015 was a milestone year for CYS. Charles Shelan,<br />
our CEO for more than 35 years, retired July 31. Luckily, he gave us plenty of<br />
notice early in the year were able to identify Scott Hanauer, the longtime clinical<br />
director <strong>at</strong> CYS, as our choice to lead the agency forward.<br />
With his long experience in youth services, <strong>at</strong> CYS and elsewhere, Scott was an<br />
easy choice. But a change <strong>at</strong> the top of any enterprise, especially replacing<br />
someone like Charles, who built and grew CYS into its present form, is nonetheless<br />
daunting.<br />
Charles and Scott worked together for months to plan and accomplish a seamless<br />
transition. Scott has stepped into his new role as CEO in a way th<strong>at</strong> has quickly<br />
earned the respect of board, staff and community.<br />
Changing top leadership is plenty for an agency to deal with in a calendar year,<br />
but CYS did much more than th<strong>at</strong> in 2015. Some highlights:<br />

TACOMA-PIERCE COUNTY: In September CYS was chosen to replic<strong>at</strong>e several of<br />
our programs in Tacoma and Pierce County. <strong>Our</strong> street outreach and young adult<br />
shelter efforts began oper<strong>at</strong>ions in December. We hope soon to have a drop-in<br />
center and crisis residential center there as well.<br />
MENTAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH: In 2015, CYS continued to expand its<br />
mental and behavioral health programs for young people in both Thurston and<br />
Mason Counties. In fact, we began moving toward opening offices in Mason<br />
County, to provide expanded services there.<br />
COORDINATED CARE: The agency continues to modernize its electronic record<br />
capabilities, while maintaining stringent safeguards to confidentiality. This new<br />
capability helps case managers work in a coordin<strong>at</strong>ed way with those who may be<br />
particip<strong>at</strong>ing in several CYS programs simultaneously.<br />
Despite all these changes, the constant is the CYS commitment to excellence in<br />
serving youth and their families. I can assure you th<strong>at</strong> it is as strong as ever.<br />
