Acting DFSS Commissioner Maura McCauley also praised Green's appointment, calling her a "strong choice" to lead the department. McCauley noted Green's compassionate leadership style and proven track record in both public and private sectors as assets that will benefit DFSS.
During her time at ACF, Green implemented data-informed solutions that improved human service delivery systems. She spearheaded initiatives such as ACF's Annual Midwest Economic Mobility Summit, which has been recognized as an incubator for state innovation in economic mobility for vulnerable populations. She also led efforts focused on whole-family well-being, early care workforce stabilization, housing solutions for human trafficking survivors, and homelessness prevention.
