UTICA, N.Y. —The Mohawk Valley Community Action Agency (MVCAA) announced it has recently selected Renee Tuggle, the current executive assistant and head of the MVCAA Angels program, as its next fiscal director.
Tuggle succeeds interim fiscal director, Valerie Bostwick, who left the nonprofit agency in late June.
Tuggle first joined MVCAA — which says it is the frontline resource for people living in poverty in Oneida and Herkimer Counties — in 2003 as a cook for the Early Head Start and Head Start programs.
“Renee embodies what community action work is all about,” MVCAA Executive Director Amy Turner said in a release. “I have been really pleased and impressed with her work ethic and dedication to helping others since the day we met. I can speak comfortably for the agency, and our board of directors, when I say how excited we all are to continue working with Renee as she begins her journey as our new fiscal director. We are confident that Mohawk Valley Community Action Agency will be well positioned to continue to thrive in the years to come.”
After working as a cook in her first five years at MVCAA, Tuggle then was an administrative assistant for four years, before serving as executive assistant for the past nine years. She worked hard and was able to earn both her associate degree and bachelor’s degree while working full-time at the agency.
“Appreciate is an understatement when it comes to how I feel about the agency’s, and board’s confidence in me,” Tuggle said. “I’ve been here, in many positions, for the better part of the past two decades. So, there are far too many people who have helped me grow as both an individual, and leader, for me to single out any one person.”
The Mohawk Valley Community Action, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, provides direct services and support for education, employment, and family support services to people living in poverty in Oneida and Herkimer Counties. The organization also offers Head Start programming in Madison County.
