CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments


Our Board of Directors is currently comprised of 10 votingmembers who are community and business leaders. Board development will be a strategic focus over the next three years in order to support the innovative initiatives determined to meet the needs of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families. We are actively seeking qualified candidates to expand the number of board members from 10 to 15. A strategic goal for 2016-2018 is to create and implement a succession plan for executive staff and board members. Board recruitment, development, and rotation will be a significant part of this strategic goal. The Executive Director reports directly to the Board of Directors and is primarily responsible for implementing the strategic plan to achieve return on mission.
