Comprehensive Community Action Program (CCAP), one of the largest community action programs in Rhode Island, is excited to announce the appointment of Chris Mansfield as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective January 2025. Chris Mansfield succeeds Joanne McGunagle, who served in the role for 45 years. The board is confident that Chris’s leadership will further the organization’s mission to fight the war on poverty.
With over 30 years of experience at Comprehensive Community Action Program, Chris Mansfield most recently served as CCAP’s Vice President of Family Development, expanding CCAP’s New Opportunity Homes, RI Works State Partnership, Learn to Earn Program, Donation Exchange, and more. He also served as CCAP’s Safety Director, oversaw the Environment of Care Committee, and supervised the Maintenance Department.
“For those who know him, Chris is an accomplished leader and a huge asset to the agency. Chris brings decades of service and dedication to fighting the war on poverty, collaborating with community partners, and maximizing funding for programs that help people each day. The Board of Directors wants to congratulate Mr. Mansfield on his new role, and we pledge to partner with him and his administrative team. We are hopeful in this decision and look forward to CCAP’s successful growth in the future,” said Bob Robillard Jr., LMHC, Chair of CCAP’s Board of Directors.
“It is truly an honor to step into the role of CEO following Joanne’s remarkable 45-year tenure. Her leadership and dedication have left a lasting mark on both this organization and the state of Rhode Island. I recognize her tremendous impact, and I am committed to picking up where she left off—continuing to grow the existing programs that have been so vital to our community,” said Chris Mansfield.
With Chris Mansfield’s leadership, Comprehensive Community Action Program is well-positioned to build on its rich history of service while advancing new initiatives. As the organization expands its programs and vital services, it will continue to meet the growing needs of Rhode Island’s most vulnerable populations.
