HMEA announced Gomes Noack's planned promotion in January.

Gomes Noack replaces Michael Moloney, who has served as CEO since 2000, and who will remain with HMEA as its executive vice president for government and community relations.

Gomes Noack joined HMEA in 1987 as the agency’s first clinical coordinator, and has served as president and COO since 2013. 

“As CEO, Ms. Noack brings continued leadership stability and a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities on the horizon,” said Katie Hauser, HMEA board president, in a statement. “She has a very clear, progressive vision for advancing HMEA’s mission to teach, support and empower people with developmental disabilities and their families to live meaningful lives of their choice.”

Gomes Noack is credited with creating and expanding HMEA’s quality, learning and performance department, which tracks performance outcomes in all of the agency’s divisions and departments. She championed and helped develop the agency’s diversity initiative, according to the announcement.

“As a woman of color, leading an organization with employees from 38 different countries, I recognize the  importance of ensuring that our diversity, equity and inclusion work guarantees that this agency is a respectful and safe workplace that provides advancement for all of our employees and everyone we support,” Gomes Noack said in a statement.
