Combined Community Services announced Christie Borzeniatow as the new director of emergency assistance.
Borzeniatow replaces Peggi Lisenbee Wright, who retired Aug. 16.

Borzeniatow came to CCS as an intern in August 2009, and has been with the organization ever since.
Her faith, passion for helping others, and desire to make a difference in the community led her to work and grow at CCS over the years, according to a news release from CCS.
