In March 2013, Joni Chantigian joined 4Cs of Alameda County staff as an Executive Assistant. Twelve and and half years - and two promotions - later, the agency is preparing to wish her well as she enters retirement this September.
Joni grew up in Hatboro-Horsham PA, near Philadelphia and is a die-hard Eagles fan. She started her career as an office manager and bookkeeper, then, as a young mother of four, Joni ran an in-home child care for newborns to five-year-olds followed by a teaching career in a Christian school for eight years before the family moved to California. After relocating to the Bay Area, she resumed her career in nonprofit management where Joni worked for Volunteer Center of Napa Valley and for Napa Valley Product Services & Industry group (PSI) as the office manager, HR Representative, and financial assistant at both organizations.
Since joining 4Cs of Alameda County, she was part of the agency's significant growth - including supporting 4Cs' VITA free tax preparation and filing program, navigating significant staffing increases, opening additional facilities, and supervising HR & Operations team growth. Joni’s husband Mike recently retired as a Pastor of a local Baptist church and the proud grandparents plan to relocate soon to be closer to their growing family. She enjoys Facetiming with her family, reading books (all genres), walks, fixing up her house, and attending church on Sundays.
Joni's team members describe her as committed, thoughtful, dedicated, compassionate, empathetic, compassionate, and authentic - all traits that the 4Cs team will miss as Joni begins her next chapter. Please join us in congratulating Joni and thanking her for many years of service to 4Cs and the Alameda County community.
