CEO’s Perspective: Leading with You

After more than 33 years with this remarkable organization, I am honored to lead Unity House as its fifth chief executive. I’m humbled by the responsibility I now have, and I’m energized by our mission – to empower people with disabilities.

Because I started my career as a direct support professional (DSP), I know how challenging it can be to provide person-centered support. I also know how rewarding it can be to see that support transform lives for the better.

Our DSPs deliver on our mission every day. That’s why I’m advocating relentlessly to make sure our DSPs get the support they need. I’m dedicated to making Unity House the area’s top employer for people who want a rewarding career.

Can I count on you to help? Please tell your friends, family members and neighbors about Unity House and invite them to join you in supporting our mission.

We need more people to:

• write to state leaders, asking them to provide more support for people with disabilities
• become regular Unity House donors, so that our work can continue when state funding falters
• join our staff or serve on our volunteer board of directors

Thank you for your partnership, your generosity, and your dedication. Together, we will build a future in which all people are respected and lead lives of personal fulfillment and acceptance.

With gratitude,
