HCCD Leadership
MANAGEMENT
April Henry* - Executive Director/CEO
April has been in the community since 1995 first serving and working with youth in Highway City and growing in that missions field. Her background after Fresno State came from 20 years of employment at Gottschalks as a buyer and senior financial planner. April and her husband Brian have been active and living in their community with their two sons since 2004 when they decided it was important to be close to their community and neighbors as they worked and served together. When Gottschalks closed their doors in 2009, she immediately started volunteering with different agencies including at Central Unified School District on many steering committees and initiatives, The Fresno Rescue Mission and The American Red Cross. She became the Regional Health & Safety Manager for the Red Cross, then added most of CA & NV. Her passion for her community continued to grow, and she made the switch to serve in it full-time as the ED of HCCD in 2014. The first thing April did, was blow off dusty plans due to the recession, to build in the community, and engaging residents to see if the dream was still important to the neighborhoods and if it could still become a reality. Today that reality is a community resource center that serves over 20,000 annually.
