The Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center (ECCAC) announced they have a new Chief Financial Officer (CFO) on their staff, Serena Campbell.
Lee Curtis, ECCAC’s Director of Development commented, “We are so glad to have Serena on board with us, this is the first time over the years that we have hired a CFO. She is professionally qualified, has an excellent background, and is well suited for her new position.”
Born in Tampa, FL, Serena Campbell was a military child who relocated with her family every three years. This upbringing instilled a sense of resilience and adaptability in her. In 1998, Campbell moved to Fort Walton Beach, FL. Since then, she has made great strides in her field working in various accounting sectors, including four years in public accounting, four years in non-profit accounting, and thirteen years in government accounting.
She holds both an undergraduate and a graduate degree from the University of West Florida. Campbell graduated in 2003 with a dual major in Accounting and Finance, and in 2009, earned a dual graduate degree in Public Administration and Acquisition-Contract Administration.
Campbell will be working as the CFO of ECCAC. In this role, her leadership and expertise will be instrumental in the success and financial stability of ECCAC.
In 2022, Campbell was initiated into the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority along with her daughter, as a member of the Sigma Omicron Omega chapter. She actively works with the sorority on their Fundraising Committee.
ECCAC’s mission is to heal and prevent the trauma of childhood abuse and neglect by providing advocacy, child-friendly therapies, and a safe environment for kids to feel seen, heard, and understood. Last year alone, ECCAC assisted 1,585 kids and 17,480 students received Safety Matters prevention education in area schools. Though ECCAC does not house children, they provide services to children and their families at no cost in their Okaloosa and Walton County centers.
