Meet Our Board of Directors

 

Charmaine Kinney

Board President

Charmaine Kinney, MPA-HA, graduated from PSU with a Master’s Degree in Public Administration in
1999. However, her lived experience has been the key to forming relationships and developing
connections across systems and communities.
In recovery from addictions for 42 years, and a mother of six children she returned to school in 1994
completing her master’s degree in 1999 at Portland State University. She worked in the addictions field
for three years as a certified Chemical Dependency Counselor, worked for a homeless program and in
Operative Care at the VAMC. Charmaine worked as a Sr. Quality Management Specialist focusing on
quality improvement for Mental Health and Addictions Services Division for 13 years. In this position
she supported The Children’s Mental Health Advisory committee and the Adult Mental Health and
Addictions Advisory committee. In all these roles she has over 5 years of supervision and 3 years of
management experience. Currently, she is the Modernization Leader for Long Term Services and
Supports for Multnomah County supporting the Disability Services Advisory Committee. She has had
additional training at the National Leadership Academy for Public Health and experience in the start up
of several community engagement projects. She has extensive training and experience in Quality
Management and Diversity, Social Justice and Equity which she incorporates and infuses these
methodologies into all of her work.
Charmaine is currently parenting two grandchildren, one of who is special needs and has been a
Wraparound client. She is serving in a parent role on the regional Children’s System of Care Advisory
Committee, the Kindergarten Readiness Collaborative, and sits on the board for OFSN. Three of her
children grew up having special needs issues that required an IEP for a variety of reasons. Navigating
systems has been a long term skill used–and still am astounded at how hard this can be, even with the
credentials and system connections. My passion is to make accessing services and being provided
quality care something you don’t have to fight for.
