Center for Transforming Lives Welcomes Nadia Salibi as Chief Impact Officer
Center for Transforming Lives is thrilled to announce the appointment of Nadia Salibi as Chief Impact Officer, a new role within the non-profit as it expands to serve more Tarrant County families. Salibi joins the non-profit at a pivotal moment in its nearly 120-year history. With the opening of its Riverside Campus last May, the non-profit’s two-generation, trauma informed approach to supporting mothers and children moving from crisis to stability has significantly expanded. For the first time, early childhood education, housing supports, clinical counseling, economic mobility programs, community health, benefits enrollment and workforce development – supported by free drop-in child care — are now easily accessible for families under one roof, in a setting that is comfortable and familiar.

Salibi brings more than 20 years of experience in both the health and non-profit sectors. Most recently, she was the Chief Impact Officer/Chief of Staff at the statewide organization Children At Risk, focused on policy and systemic change affecting children living in poverty.

As Chief Program Officer, she was responsible for overseeing all programs and outcomes around homeless and housing solutions, health equity, workforce and financial empowerment, legal services and food access.
Salibi began her hospital career at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center as part of a team conducting cancer research. Since then, her experience has focused on program evaluation and community research for government agencies, nonprofits and foundations that are working to address health disparities and understand community needs. At the University of Chicago Medicine (UCM), Salibi grew and managed the Community Benefit department and was responsible for developing UCM’s community benefit strategic plan and facilitating population health-based programming to address health priority areas on Chicago’s South Side. In this effort, she designed and implemented several Community Health Worker programs.
