Tina Andrade
Catholic Charities Hawaii has promoted Tina Andrade to chief operating officer where she will oversee the organization’s day-to-day operations. Andrade will be second in command of the organization behind CEO and president Robert Van Tassell.
Andrade joined Catholic Charities in 2003. In her previous position as vice president in mission integration, she helped implement the agency’s strategic direction, integrate its mission and values into every aspect of the organization’s programs, and develop its annual budget.
With affordable housing as the number one priority in Hawaii, Andrade has collaborated with community partners in securing $200 million to build affordable housing. As part of Catholic Charities executive team, she helped oversee the distribution of more than $150 million in federal rental assistance to tenants during the pandemic.
Andrade has also been key in communications with Catholic Charities neighbor island offices and leadership committees.
“Tina has been a trusted and collaborative member of our executive team for the past 20 years, helping us identify the priorities of our agency’s social policies to address poverty and social justice,” said Van Tassell in a news release. “With her extensive knowledge of our organization’s history, programs, personnel, partners and future potential, she is a natural fit to run CCH’s day-to-day operations.”
Born and raised in Honolulu, Andrade graduated from Kamehameha Schools. A former educator, she received her bachelor’s degree in religious studies and master’s degree in pastoral theology from Chaminade University.
She has an executive certificate in non-profit transformational leadership from Notre Dame University and a professional certificate in human resource and workforce development and management from Michigan State University.
