Susan Dreyfus is the president and CEO of the Alliance for Children and Families.
She also serves as president and CEO of the Alliance’s holding company, Families International.
In this role, Dreyfus oversees a unique corporate structure that allows four organizations—the Alliance, FEI Behavioral Health, United Neighborhood Centers of America (UNCA), and Ways to Work—to operate under one parent company. This allows each organization to maintain financial independence while encouraging collaboration and creating cost-savings as a result of pooling resources.
Dreyfus also serves as CEO for both Ways to Work and UNCA.
When she assumed the president and CEO position in January 2012, it was a homecoming for Dreyfus, who first worked at the Alliance in 2003 as senior vice president and COO. She provided leadership and management to develop and successfully implement the Alliance’s strategic plan and ensure the day-to-day operations of the organizations and its staff.
Other past positions include:
- Secretary for the Washington State Department of Social and Health Services
- Executive vice president for strategy at Rogers Behavioral Health Systems, Inc.
- Administrator of Wisconsin’s Division of Children and Family Services
Currently, she is on the boards of Chapin Hall Center for Children at the University of Chicago and of the American Public Human Services Association.
