YWCA Princeton Appoints Rose Wong As New Chief Operating Officer
PRINCETON, NJ - YWCA Princeton recently welcomed its new Chief Operating Officer, Rose Wong.
Wong will serve as a strategy partner to YWCA Princeton CEO Tay Walker. She brings over 30 years experience through education in teaching and administrative roles, most recently as the Executive Director at the Princeton Nursery School.
There, she led the expansion of many of the programs including health and wellness, hunger prevention and preschool literacy. Wong also developed fundraising strategies to increase giving for both scholarship and capital needs.
Wong succeeds Julie Sullivan-Crowley, who served in the position for five years.. Throughout her tenure, she oversaw programs such as the Breast Cancer Resource Center (BCRC), English as a Second Language (ESL), and Childcare.
“Julie helped lead YWCA Princeton through a period of incredible growth amidst the unprecedented challenges brought on by COVID-19,” CEO Tay Walker said. “Similarly, Rose Wong is a recognized community leader with a passion for empowering children and families—she’s a natural fit for our organization. We’re fortunate to have them both in our organization’s growing legacy.”
