We are excited to introduce Bernadette Austin as the new CEO of CivicWell. Bernadette was selected after an extensive search with Azzani Search Consultants following the departure of Kate Wright in March 2022. Her first day will be March 1st, and she will serve as the third CEO in our 40 year history.
Bernadette comes to CivicWell from the Center for Regional Change at UC Davis, where she co-led the research center and managed the financing and development of affordable housing and infill development. Her portfolio of community-engaged research has supported affordable housing development, social equity in transportation policy, and carbon neutrality in state policy-making.
