Our Board
Edwin
Fujii
Director
A former staff member from 1987 to 2005, Ed was foster care Program Manager.
He graduated with his BS from UC Berkeley and his MSW from CSU, Sacramento.
Ed also has experience from Shasta County Welfare Department and Children's
Home Society of California. Now retired, Ed spends his time golfing and
with his grandchildren.
Ralph
Ward
Agency Director
The Director of Youth and Family Programs received his M.S.W. in 1979
from S.U.N.Y at Buffalo, New York. He has been involved in the child welfare
field as a childcare worker and social worker for over thirty years.
Pam
Johansen
Secretary
Pam Johansen, EdD, LCSW, is an associate professor in the School of
Social Work, CSUC. She has a long history of direct practice with children
and families. Pam worked with Ralph Ward at Children's Home Society
in the 1980's. In a collaborative effort with Dr. Roy Brazzale, she
went on to develop and direct a foster family and group home agency
for seven years. The agency closed in 1995 with the birth of Pam's only
child, Alex. She has worked in many settings as a licensed clinical
social worker, including HIV/AIDS organizations, mental health, substance
abuse, and correctional settings. In addition to her full time work
at Chico State, she continues to work part time as a clinician at Butte
County Jail. Pam is very excited for the opportunity to be part of the
board, having watched Youth and Family Programs develop from a tiny
office and small staff, to the amazing organization it is today.
Mike McIver
Director
Hello my name is Mike McIver, the newest board member for Youth and
Family. In October 2008 I retired from Butte County Children Services
after over 38 years of employment with Butte County. The first fifteen
years was with Probation as a juvenile counselor, juvenile probation
officer and finally as an adult probation officer.
I transferred to Child Protective Services in 1984 as a social worker.
In 1990 I was promoted to a supervisor and in 1997 was again promoted
to a program manager. During this period of time I worked closely with
most of the foster family agencies in Butte County and was always impressed
with Youth and Family’s philosophy regarding working with children and
families. I am looking forward to serving on this board over the next
couple of years.
Eve
Nash
Director
I have worked for Youth & Family Programs for 11 years. I started
as a Social Worker in the foster care unit and became Program Manager
of the unit about 5 years later. It is fair to say that this is the
hardest and most rewarding job I have had the pleasure of working. I
believe in Youth & Family Programs and am proud to be part of this
agency. Serving on the board will be a great learning experience for
me.
