Billie Adelman
In Touch Community Services, a non- profit organization
and leading provider of mental health services in the Philippines, has
appointed Ms. Billie Adelman, a 20-year Citigroup veteran as its Executive
Director.
“Billie’s corporate career with international
organizations such as IBM and Citibank, has enabled her to develop a diverse
set of culturally adaptive leadership skills and functional knowledge, such as
finance, marketing and IT,” said In Touch Chairperson Camilla Brooks. “Her
appointment as Executive Director is timely and strategic as In Touch, supports
the goal of mental wellness for all in alignment with the Philippines Mental
Health Act, and continues to seek ways to support those in need with timely,
affordable, high-quality, and culturally appropriate mental health care.”
In Touch has been serving the community since 1980 with
its Crisis Line, direct counseling, workshops and Employee Well-being Programs,
with the primary mission of enabling individuals to have healthy coping
mechanisms and realize their potential. Ms. Adelman’s partnership with In Touch
started in 2002 as a Crisis Line volunteer and in recent years, she supported
the transformation of the organization and joined the Board of Directors,
ultimately taking on the responsibility as Treasurer. Additionally, her values
and volunteerism have been evidenced by her participation in community-based
activities with several charities such as Operation Smile, UNICEF and Habitat
for Humanity.
