Derry Holland

When Derry Holland joined Family Service in 1986 as an intern for the Family Learning Center and Seasons Outpatient Program, she had no idea it would become a 30 year journey. Over the next three decades, she went on to hold several operational and administrative leadership positions within the organization.

In October 2016 Derry officially took on the role of Chief Executive Officer. As CEO, she leads a team of over 2,700 employees who are responsible for the continued development and integrity of 150 diverse health and social service programs. Derry focuses on building a strong financial foundation, maintaining the highest possible clinical standards, and most importantly, fulfilling our mission to serve the most vulnerable members of our community.

Under Derry’s leadership in January 2017, Oaks proudly welcomed Preferred Behavioral Health Group as an affiliate. Now serving over 34,000 individuals in 19 counties throughout NJ, with a combined budget of 124 million dollars, Oaks is one of New Jersey’s most comprehensive human service providers.

In addition to her work at Oaks, Derry is currently on the board of the New Jersey Association of Community Providers (NJACP), a member of National Association of Social Workers, NJ Chapter and is affiliated with the Burlington and Camden County Mental Health Boards.
