Berks TASC (Treatment Access and Services Center) has announced the appointment of Daisy Holston as its new Executive Director, effective June 23, 2025. Holston brings more than a decade of leadership experience in probation services, workforce development, higher education, and community advocacy to her new role.
Previously serving as Assistant Chief of Juvenile Probation for the County of Berks, Holston was instrumental in advancing evidence-based practices, supervising workforce development programs, and leading efforts to address racial and ethnic disparities within the juvenile justice system. In addition to her work in public service, she has served as an adjunct professor of criminal justice at Reading Area Community College since 2016.
“I am honored to join Berks TASC and lead an organization that plays such a vital role in supporting our community,” said Holston. “I look forward to listening, learning, and working collaboratively with community agencies to ensure that our programs reflect the voices, needs, and strengths of the people we serve. TASC will continue to be committed to supporting individuals and families affected by substance use and mental health challenges while breaking down the stigma that is associated.”
As Executive Director, Holston will guide the organization’s strategic vision, enhance service delivery, and deepen collaborative partnerships across Berks County. Her appointment comes at a pivotal time as Berks TASC continues to expand its impact in the areas of addiction recovery, mental health support, and criminal justice diversion.
Holston holds two master’s degrees—in Juvenile Justice Administration from Shippensburg University and in Criminal Justice from St. Joseph’s University—and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. in Community Leadership at Alvernia University. She is also a Certified Allied Addiction Practitioner and fluent in Spanish.
