“Christine Tappan is a collaborative, systems-building leader with a deep commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion. I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Tappan in her capacity as Associate Commissioner at New Hampshire's Department of Health and Human Services on several projects to support children, families, and communities. Two notable initiatives include 1) developing the New Hampshire Emergency Child Care Collaborative to establish a system of emergency child care during the COVID-19 pandemic and 2) developing NH's Council for Thriving Children. Through both initiatives I had an opportunity to see Chris's leadership in action. She is adept leader who isn't afraid to challenge the status quo. Chris is flexible, kind and supportive leader who helps teams find consensus to move progress forward. I recommend Chris Tappan with confidence for any leadership role.”
