Monika Byrd
We’re excited to introduce the new Executive Director of Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County, Monika Byrd!
Monika brings experience in nonprofit management and marketing, along with a passion for building strong community connections. With her mother’s side of the family deeply rooted in Polk County, this role holds special significance for Monika and strengthens her connection to the community she now serves.
She’s looking forward to guiding Interfaith into a bright future, strengthening the services that support seniors and adults with disabilities, and continuing to grow the incredible network of volunteers and supporters who make our mission possible.
"I am honored to serve as the new Executive Director of Interfaith Caregivers of Polk County. For years, this organization has helped seniors and adults with disabilities remain independent through the simple but powerful model of neighbors helping neighbors. I look forward to building on this strong foundation, expanding our reach, and ensuring that every older adult and persons with disabilities in Polk County who needs support can access it."
