Effective July 1st, 2007, Barbara W. Fleming will step down as Executive Director of Children’s Health Involving Parents to explore alternative pursuits.  For over 15 years, Fleming has graciously led the Richmond based site since its establishment as an extension of the Richmond Community Action Program (RCAP) in 1992.  Her decision to resign marks the first ever change in executive leadership for the site.

In 1997, Fleming had a major role in expanding the program into an independent agency with a staff of three and a $75,000 operating budget to over 25 employees and a $1.5 million budget.  She is to be succeeded by Amy L. Strite, currently serving as the Clinical Services and Education Director for the Richmond site.
