People news: Cayuga Centers promotes Spieker to chief quality officer

AUBURN, N.Y. — Cayuga Centers president and CEO Edward Myers Hayes announced that he has promoted Nathaniel Spieker to chief quality officer on the nonprofit agency’s executive team.

The move is part of a restructuring of the agency’s management, according to a news release from Cayuga Centers, which is based in Auburn and serves children and families throughout New York state, southeast Florida, and Delaware.

Spieker will oversee the agency’s compliance, outcome and performance measurements, and investigations, and will supervise its effort to bring the electronic consumer record system online.

“As we have grown our programs we have added structure as well as resources to our organization. Mr. Spieker’s new role will help maintain the high quality of our interventions and services, which differentiates us from other organizations,” Hayes said in the release.

Spieker has worked at Cayuga Centers since 2002 in multiple positions, including group care worker, overnight supervisor, case manager, and home finder, and vice president of CQI. He received his bachelor’s degree in sociology with a concentration in criminal justice from Keuka College, and his master’s degree in management from Keuka College in 2014.

Cayuga Centers says it offers a variety of evidence-based programs, residential and foster care treatment, and services for persons with developmental disabilities. Cayuga Centers employs more than 500 people and has a $50 million budget.
