Patricia Tindbaek, LCSW, Chief Development Officer at Masada Community Mental Health Services, is a dynamic executive leader with over 30 years of nonprofit management experience, with specialized expertise in public-sector contracting. Established in 1989, Masada is a non-profit organization that provides quality mental health services to vulnerable communities funded in large part through a contract with Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health.
Patricia’s engaging and collaborative leadership style has contributed to Masada’s successful adaptation to significant transitions over the past three decades. Recent examples include an expedited implementation of a new electronic healthcare record system, and Masada’s successful adaptation to complicated CalAIM Payment Reform mandates. As a data-driven organization, Patricia and her colleagues utilize data from a variety of sources to make strategic operational decisions, to monitor client outcomes, and to continuously improve the quality of services.
With the heart of a social worker and the mind of an entrepreneurial business leader, Patricia has the ability to strategically address organizational challenges by applying the knowledge gained through decades of experience operating in both realms. Most recently, Patricia has shifted her focus to securing new and expanded resources for Masada through collaborations with foundations and private donors, consistent with Masada’s current strategic plan to increase our positive impact through expansion of philanthropic activities and diversification of funding sources.
Patricia received her bachelor degree in Sociology from UCLA, and her masters in social work from California State University at Long Beach.
