Marci McCoy-Roth

Chief Impact Officer

Marci McCoy-Roth brings a blended background in public policy, research, technology, and communications to her role as Chief Impact Officer at the American Public Human Services Association (APHSA). Marci is responsible for guiding APHSA’s strategic planning and the implementation of its vision and mission. She implemented, and currently leads, the use of the Objectives and Key Results (OKR) framework to support teams in measuring impact and ensuring goals are accomplished with precision and purpose.

Since 2013, Marci has directed the award-winning National Electronic Interstate Compact Enterprise (NEICE) technology platform, which APHSA administers as Secretariat for the Association of Administrators of the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (AAICPC). Through NEICE, states are enhancing the efficiency and quality of the information exchanged across state lines for child placements—with states shortening the timelines for returning decisions and placing children by as much as 40 percent since 2014.

Marci has deep expertise in child welfare, public health, retirement security, early childhood, disability policy, as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation. Beyond her professional commitments, Marci invests in community and youth empowerment, for example, through her role as a director on the FosterClub Board since 2011. She has also served on various community boards in Montgomery County, Maryland. Marci holds degrees from the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania, the La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and Yale University. Her work is underpinned by a passion for creating sustainable, positive change in her community and beyond.
