Camarillo, CA – Casa Pacifica Centers for Children and Families welcomed Richard Gutierrez as their Chief Financial Officer on Monday, November 9th. Gutierrez joins Casa Pacifica’s senior leadership team guided by Chief Executive Officer Shawna Morris, who joined the nonprofit in July.

I look forward to partnering with what is obviously a dedicated and committed Board of Directors in advancing the vital mission of the organization. I will do my best to lead a strong financial team so we can continue to support the organization as we encounters new strategic and programmatic challenges,” said Gutierrez on his first day.
