Providence Row Housing Association Appoints New CEO

 

 Providence Row Housing Association is very pleased to announce the appointment of Karen Stuart as our new Chief Executive.

Karen, currently our Deputy CEO, will take over from Fiona Humphrey, who retires in June after 20 years of extraordinary leadership. Here’s what our Chair, our outgoing CEO and our incoming CEO have to say:

Helen New, Chair :

“We are delighted to appoint Karen Stuart as our new CEO. Karen brings decades of dedicated service to PRHA, an extraordinary depth of knowledge of our services and communities, and a strategic, people-focused vision rooted in her deep relationships with residents and staff. She will build on the strong foundations Fiona Humphrey has laid, and we look forward to working with her to grow PRHA’s impact.”

Fiona Humphrey:

“Reflecting back on my time here I feel incredibly privileged to have led PRHA to support so many residents and develop and empower our staff teams. I am very proud of what we have achieved together. Karen Stuart will offer continuity in our vision bringing her wealth of experience, dedication and passion to supporting our residents and staff, thus taking PRHA forward with its culture, values and social impact.”

Karen Stuart:

“I am honoured and deeply proud to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer at PRHA. Having been with PRHA for more than 25 years, I understand firsthand the difference we make every day by providing safe, secure homes and support for the most vulnerable members of our community.

It’s this mission and the great people who work for, and with, PRHA that continue to inspire me, as does the remarkable leadership and dedication Fiona Humphrey has shown over the past 20 years. As I look ahead, my focus remains clear: to ensure our residents continue to feel safe, respected and truly at home, as we build on our existing strengths and evolve to meet the changing needs and challenges ahead.”

Please join us in congratulating Karen and in thanking Fiona for her remarkable contribution to PRHA and the communities we serve.
