Leadership at Link
As Executive Director, I help guide our staff to focus on the mission of Link Associates. 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. As a team we look at the measurable outcomes, 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.
Link Associates is structured in such a way to manage and assure success. The Table of Organization is designed to outline each level of responsibility and accountability within the organization, up to the Executive Director who answers to the 21 members of the Board of Directors. There are established board committees made up of current and past board members, who assist the Executive Director guide and direct the organization. The committees include: Buildings & Grounds, Personnel, Finance, Marketing & Communication, Executive, and the Program Committee.
Our goal is always be to provide the highest quality services designed for 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. Linda Dunshee, Executive Director
