NEW LENOX, IL — Trinity Services, Inc. announces today the appointment of Tina Fogarty to the position of Chief Operating Officer (COO).

Fogarty joined Trinity Services in 2016 as the Director of Specialized Residential Services and quickly became a valued member of the executive leadership team. She was appointed to the position of COO by President and CEO Thane Dykstra, Ph.D.

Fogarty has more than 25 years of experience in the human services field, 22 of which were spent at Neumann Family Services. As Neumann’s Vice President of Programs and Services, Fogarty worked to develop, implement and lead a wide range of residential, adult learning, employment, clinical and case management programs.

Fogarty has extensive experience working with people who have a dual diagnosis of a developmental disability and a mental illness. She also served young adults with a dual diagnosis who were transitioning to community-integrated living arrangements, also known as group homes, after receiving services from the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services.

Since coming to Trinity Services, Fogarty’s vast knowledge base in the fields of developmental disabilities and mental illness, as well as her strong leadership skills have greatly benefited the organization.

In her role as COO, Fogarty will work alongside Dykstra and all members of the Trinity Services team to ensure the organization is effectively carrying out its mission of helping people with developmental disabilities and mental illness flourish and live full and abundant lives.

“Tina has quickly become a valued member of the executive team, and her interpersonal style and personality have perfectly matched Trinity’s organizational culture,” Dykstra said.
