CAPA Announces New President and CEO Dr. Kristina Jones

We’re excited to announce that Dr. Kristina Jones has officially been named the new President and CEO of CAPA! Dr. Jones has been with us for more than 13 years and has been serving as our Interim President and CEO since June 2024. After a thorough 10-week search by our Executive Search Committee, they knew she was the perfect fit to lead our team.

Dr. Jones has been a key part of CAPA’s growth and success over the years, especially in her previous role as Vice President of Programs. Some of her amazing accomplishments include helping us secure Healthy Families America affiliation, growing our counseling program’s budget, and overseeing the shift to electronic records—just to name a few!

“I’m truly honored to step into this role permanently after 13 wonderful years with CAPA. I’m inspired every day by our team’s dedication, passion, and resilience. I’m really looking forward to what we can achieve together in the future, and I’m committed to creating a space where we can all continue to grow, innovate, and make a lasting impact.”
