Ascentria Care Alliance, a human services nonprofit based in Worcester with a presence throughout New England, has hired Christine Tappan as the new chief of strategy and external relations. Tappan will join the executive team in strategic planning for organizational development and fundraising.

Christine will be an integral contributor and we are so fortunate she decided to bring her skills, experience and dedication to excellence to our organization,” Angela Bovill, president and CEO of Ascentria, said in a Tuesday press release.
Tappan was previously principal associate at Abt Associates, a research firm in Cambridge, where she led domestic strategy for capacity building in health and social policy. She formerly served as associate commissioner of the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, according to the press release. She holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of New Hampshire and a master's degree from the University of Michigan.
Tappan is replacing Jeffrey Kinney, who is retiring from the role.
