My passion is community and enabling others to be all that they can be. More than 30 years of work and volunteer experiences in the non-profit sector have reinforced my belief that "community" is powerful and will provide an advocate for its members. I’ve met lots of good people doing a lot of very good things. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things. This always inspires me.

CCS's mission is to help people help themselves by working creatively and responding to community needs. This is an infinite commitment because the issues we are facing are infinite in nature. These issues will be here well beyond anyone's tenure with the organization. CCS will make a difference in the lives of people "today" so that their lives for "tomorrow" can be better, stronger, happier and healthier. This is how we will demonstrate our commitment to building a better future for our community.

I am so pleased to be part of this team. I've seen what an enduring commitment to people, quality, excellence and people-centered care can really do. I look forward to bringing value and creating impact in the organization and for the people it serves. Please drop by and say hello.
