Crossroads Leadership Team
ARIANA A. ADAMS • Executive Director
Ms. Adams joined Crossroads Community Services in 2018, first as a volunteer chef and later as a member of the Strategic Planning Committee of the Board. Her executive management career spans more than two decades in leadership roles with various nonprofit organizations. Early in her career, Ms. Adams was drawn to nonprofit management and the behavioral health recovery community after being employed at Amethyst, a Women’s Substance Abuse & Housing Program. She found her true vocation in executive leadership and gained much experience while working as the Associate Executive Director at the Mental Health Association of Nassau County. For over ten years she was the principal of her own consulting firm, The Good Fig, where she lead a multi-million dollar, not for profit and political fundraising campaign, as well as directed organizational change for regional and national causes in youth development, housing, homelessness, and mental health. In her own words, “I believe in every person’s ability to rise to the very best version of themselves regardless of their past, present or future circumstances.”
