The retirement of our executive director has been a huge learning experience for both the board and our administrative team. Soon, we hope to have some wonderful news on the executive director’s position. This past year has brought many new challenges throughout the agency. The staff and management team have been very creative, adaptable, supportive, and committed to serving our VALID individuals. “When COVID-19 is finished, we most definitely will have an awards night recognizing our staff that have put in endless hours, concern, and care for our individuals. Vinet presented the Election of Directors. The Slate of Officers are: Kathy Reesik for three years, Taneen Rudyk for three years, Rhonda Manz for two more years, and Val Miller for one more year. The motion to approve the Slate of Directors was passed. After this, some clients gave some testimonies of how they were doing. The clients said they are doing well, and they were keeping active and were happy and healthy.
