After a long search process, Chicago Recovery Alliance’s Board of Directors and Team are pleased to announce the hiring of John Werning for our Executive Director effective 03/01/2022.

From John:

I have been working in the harm reduction field for the last 10 years, developing and running grant-funded programs for community based organizations throughout Chicago. My experience has mostly consisted of building out mobile outreach and community engagement services, with a focus on PWUD, those living with HIV, and those experiencing housing instability. I have been a volunteer and close community partner of CRA’s since 2014, and I am honored to be taking on the role of Executive Director.
