Monique Lopez, UMOM COO, Selected for 2023 Class of Piper Fellows

December 12, 2023 - UMOM is proud to announce that COO Monique Lopez was selected for the 2023 Class of Piper Fellows.

As I embark on my Piper Fellowship journey, I’m filled with a deep sense of honor and gratitude. This Fellowship is a remarkable privilege that provides me with the time and resources to explore, innovate, and advance my role in this pivotal phase of my career at UMOM New Day Centers. I’m excited to make the most of this opportunity by creating new learning experiences and strengthening my leadership skills—it has fueled my enthusiasm and determination to become a more effective leader to benefit my organization and the community we serve.” – Monique Lopez, UMOM New Day Centers, Chief Operating Officer

As Chief Operating Officer, Monique provides strategic leadership and evaluation-focused support to achieve UMOM’s mission of preventing and ending homelessness for vulnerable individuals and families.

Her two decades of experience in the nonprofit sector have been devoted to the human services field, starting as a residential counselor in a group home. Her career has grown to include increasingly complex positions perfectly suited for her deep empathy and dedication to assisting people facing adversity, juvenile justice, and homelessness prevention.

The newly selected class becomes part of the larger and enduring Piper Fellows network that is now a community of 111 Fellows. The 2023 Piper Fellows will participate in self-designed professional development “sabbaticals” focused on strengthening leadership skills and exploring renowned programs that can help nonprofits become more effective and resilient.
