The Haven is pleased to announce the selection of Aimee Graves as its new Executive Director. Ms. Graves will succeed Dr. Margaret Higgins who served in the role for 17 years.
“I am delighted that the Board of Directors has chosen Aimee Graves to be the new Executive Director of The Haven: Aimee will bring to the position a long history of dedication to serving our community, and will continue to ensure that women who are suffering from substance use disorder will get services they need, without shame or stigma,” commented Dr. Higgins after the appointment.
Ms. Graves brings over 15 years of executive-level positions and a career spanning over 23 years in community-based nonprofit organizations that serve people recovering from addiction and mental health disorders. Throughout her career, Aimee has been very successful in community relations, business development initiatives, service quality and innovation. Her experience encompasses a broad range of prevention, early intervention and treatment services for children, adolescents, adults, and families. Most recently, she was Division Director, Children and Family Services at the Easterseals Blake Foundation, and prior to that, Vice President at CODAC Health, Recovery & Wellness.
Ms. Graves is active in community volunteerism and serves on the advisory boards for the University of Arizona’s Southwest Institute for Research on Women (SIROW) and the Frances McClelland Institute. She co-chairs Women United for UWTSA, and is also a member of the Rotary Club of Tucson. Aimee is a graduate of Greater Tucson Leadership Class of 2019.
“Women have particular concerns and needs when it comes to their whole health care,” says Aimee Graves, incoming Executive Director of The Haven. “We are proud to be able to offer CARF-accredited, core elements of excellent substance use disorder treatment and mental health care, with staffing and program components that are specialized to the women we serve and their children.”
Collette Barajas, Board President says, “I am thrilled to welcome Aimee Graves as our new Executive Director of The Haven. I look forward to working with her to ensure women continue to have the opportunity for treatment of substance disorders in a safe environment.”
Ms. Graves will begin her role at The Haven on February 1, 2022.
