Link Associates Management
Team
 As
Executive Director, I help guide the staff to focus on the
mission of Link Associates, "Providing people with mental
disabilities opportunities to achieve their personal goals".
Working closely with the staff and Board of Directors we
consistently strive to be the recognized leader in providing
quality services to persons with mental disabilities.
One of Link Associates greatest strengths is the quality and
longevity of the management team. It is an honor to work with
such talented professionals. Winston Churchill once said;
"However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at
the results". As a team we look at the tangible certificates,
survey successes, and letters that proclaim our results, but more
importantly we look at the real measures of what we achieve.
These measures are seen in the smiles, in the visible trust, and
in the obvious joy that anyone can see between our staff and the
consumers they interact with. As we look at those measures we
have enormous pride in our dedicated staff and members of the
Board who have helped achieve them. We can not write a
measurable standards to show the trust the consumers and their
families have in the staff they work with daily. We can not
write an outcome that measures the quality of the interaction
between staff and consumers beyond the requirements of their
jobs.
Our goal will always be to provide the highest quality services,
focused on meeting each individual's personal needs, but our
successes reach much deeper than that. When you are at Link you
can not miss the laughter, happiness and the caring that openly
exists between the consumers and the staff. One should expect a
program like Link to have a strong success rate of truly
supporting people as they reach for their dreams. The assumption
may be that it is our staff assisting consumers to reach their
dreams, but in reality it is the consumers who have helped all
of us reach our dreams.
