Chief Executive
Mr. Joseph Dirr
Term:
Since
July
2003
Chief Executive Profile:
Two months after moving into a new, 8,600-sq.- ft facility, the Board of Directors and Members of the Corporation appointed Mary Galeone, RSM and Joseph S. Dirr as Co-Directors of Mercy Center.
Mr. Dirr joined the staff of Mercy Center in 2003. He is responsible for staff coordination and development, neighborhood relations, public relations, facilities and administration, and is serving as Director of Development. Prior thereto, Mr. Dirr worked for A.T. Hudson & Co., a management consultancy specializing in empowering frontline managers to assume responsibility in new ways for the effectiveness of their staffs and their performance. He served there as Senior Vice President of Operations from 1994, responsible for directing long-term operational improvement projects for client organizations in both the private and the public sectors as well as shorter term assessment assignments. Previously, Mr. Dirr served for two years as Director of the Jesuit Office for Faith and Justice on Wall Street.
CEO/Executive Director Statement:
Athough many individuals strive to improve their lives, they often face obstacles that can seem insurmountable. Mercy Center helps by providing a helping hand instead of a handout -- a boost of self-esteem that makes Mercy Center participants more likely to succeed because their success is of their own doing.
