Janet Miles-Bartee, President

Janet Miles-Bartee was named President and CEO in December 2023 after serving children, families and neighborhoods for LINC since 2000. She brings a deep understanding of community connections with her past experience, first as a Caring Communities site coordinator and then as Caring Communities Administrator and Executive Vice President, overseeing 53 sites in six school districts and two charter schools.

As President and CEO, she leads LINC's expansive social services network, including workforce development, employment, family engagement and LINC's Caring Communities programs. In her work leading LINC, she has collaborated with and earned the praise of the state’s governor, the Kansas City mayor, state lawmakers, church leaders and city department heads. But most of all, Miles-Bartee knows the families of LINC’s neighborhoods. She is their trusted friend, their advocate and their voice.
