Center for Community Alternatives appoints Cordero Dyer deputy director and CFO

The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA) announced it has appointed Carolina Cordero Dyer as deputy director and chief financial officer (CFO).

As CFO, Cordero Dyer will lead budgeting, financial management, and financial planning agency-wide. As deputy director, she will serve as a member of the executive team, lead real-estate transactions, and play a key role in new initiatives. Those include entrepreneurial ventures that employ CCA’s participants, new service models, and “expansion of ATI and Reentry services to new communities” in New York state, CCA said in a news release.

With offices in Syracuse, Rochester, White Plains, and New York City, CCA works on community-based alternatives to incarceration and reintegration of individuals following incarceration. The nonprofit says its mission is to promote “reintegrative justice and a reduced reliance on incarceration through advocacy, services, and public policy development in pursuit of civil and human rights.”

Cordero Dyer holds an MBA from New York University, has CPA certification, and has worked in financial management in both the for-profit and nonprofit sectors. Most recently, she served for 24 years as CFO at The Osborne Association, a similar nonprofit criminal-justice organization, where she implemented a “strong grants and financial management system,” the release stated. She also handled real-estate transactions and developed nonprofit business ventures to employ program participants.

“With her intricate knowledge of nonprofit financial management, as well as her extensive experience with criminal justice programs, Carolina Cordero Dyer will help CCA move to the next level of leadership and service in the criminal justice field,” David Condliffe, CCA executive director, said in the release.
