Meet the Team
Lisa Schneekloth
Lisa Schneekloth
Lisa Schneekloth is CICOA’s first woman CEO in its 50-year history and previously served as CICOA’s first chief compliance officer, establishing a strong foundation for compliance, risk management, quality assurance and accreditation. With nearly 17 years of service with the organization, her demonstrated leadership and mission-driven approach are set to propel CICOA forward at a critical time for aging and disability services.
Her connection to CICOA's mission is deeply personal. A native of Indianapolis, she grew up in a single-parent home in the Fountain Square neighborhood, experiencing firsthand the challenges faced by many of CICOA’s clients, as her family relied on subsidies for rent and meals. She has walked the journey of a family caregiver as she supported her mother, a CICOA client, who was able to remain in her home well into her 90s.
Lisa joined CICOA in 2008 as a care manager, and she has since held a variety of increasingly responsible roles, including options counselor, supervisor and assistant director for Flourish Care Management, and director of the Meals & More service. In the latter role, she implemented automated processes that significantly improved client service efficiency and boosted staff satisfaction.
Lisa holds a bachelor’s degree in social work from IUPUI and a master’s degree in public administration nonprofit leadership from Indiana Wesleyan University. She is certified in healthcare compliance and healthcare privacy compliance. Her resume also includes work with Big Brothers Big Sisters, early childhood education and the juvenile probation system.
“Working with CICOA, I’ve felt empowered to help people meet their basic needs. I have mentored staff, and now at the C-Suite level, have the opportunity to assure we function at the highest level of excellence and quality while exploring innovative ways to meet the evolving needs of our community,” she said.
Lisa has three adult children, who are all involved in servant leadership. Away from work, she finds time for golf, bowling, reading, exercise and beach vacations with her husband, Scott.
Executive Leadership
Peter Bisbecos
Peter Bisbecos
Peter Bisbecos brings over 30 years of experience in public service and legal affairs to his role as CICOA’s General Counsel. His long-standing relationship with the organization is rooted in a shared commitment to innovation and high-quality service for older adults and individuals with disabilities.
"Service to people, high-quality service, keeping people at home…these are real passions of mine,” Peter said. “Early on, I noticed the way CICOA advanced the thinking in those areas and served as a leader in ways that went beyond the role of a typical Area Agency on Aging. I could see that in the way it supported people in communities and family caregivers.”
Peter first engaged with CICOA in the early 1990s while working with the Indianapolis Mayor’s office on public transportation issues. He later reconnected with the organization after leaving state government. Peter joined the CICOA board in 2011, serving as Board Chair from 2020-2022, and as Foundation Board Chair in 2024 through the completion of his term in June 2025.
During his time on the board, Peter was a strong advocate for CICOA's forward-thinking approach. “It’s rare to find an organization that does all that it can today and can still look down the road toward the future," he noted. "Right now, CICOA is focused on what the senior care model and the disabilities model will look like in 10 to 15 years. That provides the kind of advantage that’s going to make our mission sustainable.”
Prior to joining CICOA as General Counsel, Peter served as the Chief Legal Officer at the Rehabilitation Hospital of Indiana.
Peter earned his Juris Doctor degree from the IU McKinney School of Law and a Bachelor's in History from Wabash College. He and his wife Marilyn, who is also a former CICOA board member, enjoy traveling with their college-aged sons, history and finding new local restaurants.
Stephen Gerber
Steve Gerber
Steve Gerber has lived a lot of lives, professionally speaking. He brings experience in pastoral ministry, nonprofit management and fundraising team leadership to his role as CICOA’s chief development officer.
Steve is responsible for the agency’s overall fundraising strategy, leading annual campaigns, major gifts, planned giving, grants and special events. The job, as he sees it, puts systems and processes in place that create authentic relationships with donors and community partners.
“There is an intrinsic dignity in helping people that is exciting,” he said. “Being able to build support for quality of life for all people along the life spectrum says a lot about the Central Indiana community.”
Most recently Steve served as executive director of development at Grace College & Seminary in Winona Lake, Ind. There, he worked with a donor on a $1.5 million gift that established the first endowed chair in the college’s school of science and secured two separate $1 million grants for the seminary.
He holds the Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) designation, Chartered Advisor in Philanthropy (CAP) designation and the executive certificate in religious fundraising. Steve earned a bachelor’s degree from Tennessee Temple University, a master's degree from Grace Theological Seminary and a master’s in business administration from the University of Phoenix.
He and his wife, Vicki, have two adult sons. Stephen enjoys weekend trips to the beach, reading and movies across all genres. He has followed the Indianapolis Colts from the moment they arrived in Indiana.
Erica Seabaugh
Erica Seabaugh
As Chief Operating Officer, Erica Seabaugh drives the strategic vision of the organization with a focus on efficiently delivering impactful services and programs to community members.
In previous roles, Erica has been an instrumental leader at CICOA, driving the strategic vision of CICOA's In-Home Services division, which includes Flourish Care Management (where she previously held positions as care manager, assistant director and director), Flourish Disabilities Care Management, and Home Safety & Accessibility. Erica played an essential role leading service coordination to meet client needs through the transition to Indiana PathWays for Aging.
Erica is one of the founders of Postbook, an intergenerational postcard exchange and keepsake journal designed to kindle connection between children and older adults and reduce social isolation and loneliness through the lost art of letter writing. The product was developed through CICOA’s Venture Studio, now branded as Wrinkle Innovation, and received a 2023 Innovation and Achievement Award from USAging.
She earned her undergraduate degree at Ball State University and her master’s at IUPUI. After beginning her career in youth services, she gradually realized a greater rapport in working with older adults.
“It wasn’t the career path I thought I’d take, but I remembered the times that I got to spend with my grandparents in Pittsburgh. That quality time was important, and it helped me see how much I connected with older adults. That led me to care management,” she said.
In addition to the contributions that CICOA makes to the quality of life for Central Indiana’s senior community, Erica appreciates the organizational culture that fosters personal and professional growth.
“There’s such a strong passion among the people here and so many ways to have an impact on the organization and the community. It’s helped me grow as leader. I’ve come a long way from being afraid to stand up and speak in front of a group.”
Erica and her husband, Dan, are the parents of two elementary-school aged children and a dog, Cosmo. The family enjoys traveling to see family across the United States, and their favorite mode of winter recreation is skiing and snowboarding in the northern region of Michigan’s lower peninsula.
Jonathan Haag
Jonathan Haag
Jonathan Haag’s path from biblical studies major to CICOA’s innovation champion isn’t as unusual a journey as it first appears. As he explains, while innovation is rooted in creative confidence at the organizational level, it only takes place when creative confidence is developed and encouraged at the individual level.
“Everyone has something that only they have, and my job is to encourage that out of them. I see that as my ministry,” Jonathan said.
Appointed vice president in 2021, Jonathan served previously as CICOA’s director of strategy and innovation. Currently, he oversees CICOA’s research institute and venture studio, secures capital for projects and facilitates partnerships with other community-based organizations and ventures.
Jonathan came to CICOA in 2016 from Sagamore Institute, an Indianapolis think tank. Working alongside seasoned thought leaders and practitioners from a variety of fields at Sagamore sparked his own restless imagination and furthered an interest in turning ideas into reality. His CICOA highlight reel includes launching Duett, an in-house, for-profit company that connects clients to home healthcare providers, and fostering a culture of innovation across the agency.
When he’s not moving ideas through the innovation pipeline, Jonathan enjoys spending time with his wife, Monica, and their three sons, Landon, Riley and Peyton.
Jonathan holds a B.S. in biblical studies and a minor in journalism from Grace College and Theological Seminary.
