VALPARAISO – Lisa Jordan, president and CEO of the Family & Youth Services Bureau, is retiring from the post effective Dec. 31.
Jordan has logged 23 years of public service to Porter County. She has overseen more than 20 different programs, which have served more than 4,000 families and youths annually.
BeLinda Georgeff, presently the organization’s vice president, has been selected by its board of directors to succeed Jordan. Georgeff and Jordan have worked together closely the past eight years.
“BeLinda’s dedication to children spans her career as a therapist and counselor,” Jordan said. “BeLinda possesses many years of first-hand experience supporting children. Her administrative skills were demonstrated when she took leadership of the agency’s risk management program.”
Jordan said while Georgeff continued to work directly with adolescents in her leadership role, she also excelled in many administrative tasks.
“BeLinda then moved completely into FYSB’s administrative management, assuming supervision of clinical staff and grants management,” Jordan said. “BeLinda possesses the unique combination of therapeutic insight and solid leadership skills.”
The Family & Youth Services Bureau was established in 1972 to assist youths and families through supportive services that create a positive change for Porter County.
