County Executive Samantha Kerkman announced a new appointment for the leadership role in Kenosha County's Division of Children & Family Services. Pamela Condos has been chosen to replace Ron Rogers, who retired on March 31. Her appointment is pending confirmation by the County Board later this month.

Condos previously served as Division Manager under Rogers' leadership. Her career began as a Social Worker with the county in 2012, after spending 17 years at Community Impact Programs, a nonprofit organization focused on foster care and youth justice. Condos holds a state certification as a licensed social worker.

“Pamela comes to her new position with a strong skillset and a passion for advocating for the well-being of children and building strong families,” Kerkman stated. “I am confident she will continue to build upon the solid foundation that Ron Rogers laid during his many years of service to the county.”

Condos holds a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and a Master of Science in Management from Cardinal Stritch University. She expressed enthusiasm for her new role, saying, “I am excited about the opportunities, challenges, and collaborations that lie ahead. I’m fortunate to work with a dedicated group of people with a common goal to help others thrive and fulfill our mission to promote the safety and well-being of the child, family, and community by providing quality services.”

John Jansen, Kenosha County Human Services Director, highlighted Condos' career dedication to youth and family services, noting her experience at various levels of county administration, from social worker to program manager, and now director.

“Pamela has the skills and the leadership experience to continue leading the division in a forward-facing manner," Jansen said. "And I know she looks forward to continuing to collaborate with our community partners as we work to address the needs of youth and families in the community.”

Jansen also acknowledged Ron Rogers' contributions, who had been with the county since 2000 and became division Director in 2008. “Ron was viewed throughout the state as a leader in children and family services, child welfare, and youth justice,” he remarked. “He was highly respected and a dedicated advocate who built a collaborative network to help meet the needs of our residents.”
