The board of directors of nonprofit organization Gill Children’s Services has hired Peyton Salavarria as its new executive director. She replaces Amanda Stallings, who now serves as the executive director of the JPS Foundation in Fort Worth.
Salavarria, a Metroplex native, brings experience in the nonprofit sector, creating marketing campaigns, branding strategies and community awareness. She joins Gill Children’s Services from Communities In Schools of Greater Tarrant County, where she was the director of events and marketing. Salavarria has a marketing degree with an emphasis on nonprofit organizational studies from the University of Oklahoma. Founded in 1979 by Martine H. Ginsburg and Virginia H. Richards, Gill Children’s Services serves as a funding source of last resort, helping Tarrant County children whose medical, dental, social, psychological and educational needs have not been met by other community resources.
