PROVIDENCE – Alisha Bourdeau, chief financial officer for CODAC Behavioral Healthcare, has been named the 2025 Career Achiever for Providence Business News’ annual C-Suite Awards program.
Bourdeau works closely with the CODAC board of directors and executive team to develop and implement strategic plans to expand CODAC’s reach. Key to bringing these CODAC goals and visions to fruition, Bourdeau has worked with its board of directors to develop an official investment policy for CODAC and also prepared dozens of grant applications that have allowed the health organization to obtain vital funding from state and federal sources.
Dominic Skrajewski, JPS Construction and Design Inc.’s chief operating officer has been named the program’s 2025 Rising Star.
