YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning/Youngstown Community Action Partnership has a new director, and the agency has been removed from the Ohio Department of Development’s designation as a “high-risk” agency.
The new CEO, effective July 1, is Marilyn McDaniel, interim chief operating officer under Progress Resources, a private nonprofit firm brought in to lead MYCAP out of its troubles with the state.
MYCAP administers 11 programs in Mahoning County to help poor and disadvantaged people.
Led by John A. Wilson, the interim team’s primary goals were to assess and improve the agency’s management, review policies and procedures, respond to all financial audits, and assist the board to recruit and hire key executive staff.
MYCAP will end its contract at the end of June with Progress Resources, Wilson said.
He said hiring McDaniel as CEO will facilitate a smooth transition because of her knowledge of the agency.
