The St. Patrick Center Board of Directors has announced it has hired Laurie Phillips as its new chief executive officer. A native St. Louisan, Phillips will begin her role Jan. 20. She is the first female to serve as CEO since St. Patrick Center’s founder in 1983, Edith Cunnane.

“We found a unique combination of talents and skills in Laurie Phillips,” said Joe Ambrose, president of the St. Patrick Center Board of Directors. “She has the right blend of for-profit and nonprofit experiences, plus the personal story of making a life-changing decision to evolve her career into serving others.”
