The EngAGE Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Joe Altepeter to the position of CEO for our organization, effective October 15, 2024.
Joe has nearly two decades of dedicated executive leadership experience in the nonprofit and social enterprise sectors in critical areas such as homelessness, affordable housing, social enterprises, and LGBTQIA+ advocacy.
He has a proven record in community development in which he fostered collaborations that led to beneficial changes both locally and nationally for underserved populations. His dedication has earned him notable recognition, including the Los Angeles Business Journal Social Enterprise of the Year Award for industry leadership.
Joe looks forward to furthering EngAGE’s mission of providing a creative, life-enhancing, and more equitable future for low-income families and older adults.
The Board and the entire EngAGE community express our immense gratitude to our founder, Tim Carpenter, who led the organization for 25 successful years. His efforts resulted in a multitude of personal awards for him and acknowledgments for EngAGE, most specifically from the National Endowment of the Arts which named our organization one of the Ten Best Practices Programs in Arts & Aging in the country. We wish Tim the best in his retirement.
Welcome, Joe!
